Just playing devils advocate, but if it’s open access, maybe the dude thought.. Oooh look, a purpose built bike trail, what better thing for riding my bent up? Smashing..
There’s plenty people out riding bikes that aren’t necessarily gen’d up on the current passion for zooming down a hill in the woods
Maybe someone saw him riding his daft contraption round the local park and suggested that Peaslake might be a more fun spot with all the purpose built bike trails and whatnot..
MTB enthusiasts are a relatively tiny microcosm of the wide range of people that like to mess about in the great outdoors, why should anyone outside of this weird little clan understand our (contradictory) views on etiquette?! 😆 Or respect them?
Do you know the finer points of hare coursing etiquette, or model aeroplane flying..?
Do you adhere to their rules when out on a ride?
