That there survey about users on blue grade trails

so 6(e)(ii) counts for trails specifically built for bikes………

No issues with everyone using FC land but fercrisake do you REALLY think its a good idea to walk UP the Red Trail at QECP when there a mahoosive great signs telling you NOT TOO!!

Darwinism….

By my interpretation yes, and the purpose built walking trails are for just that.

After a few hours riding at Llandegla I went for a run on one of the walkers trails, got a bit off-piste, stung by a bee (my ear’s still swollen, but I’m fine thanks) and came back down the quickest way, which included some of the bike trail. I punched myself for being in the way.

It missed off the list ‘cyclists who stop in the middle of the trail to change a puncture instead of pulling off to the side’ (swinley, numerous occasions)
Personally, I ticked none of the above because as far as I am concerned you should be riding to what you can see plus expecting slower new or nervous riders on a blue, especially one on easy access FC land. Strava heroes avoid weekends if you want empty trails.

Do I object to walkers runners using bike trails when there is no other option/they get lost? No. Do I object when they purposefully choose to walk on a bike trail when there are other options? Yes. They’re putting themselves in danger by being there – I can walk in the middle of the road if I want, but if I’m doing it when there’s a perfectly good footpath nearby then I’m a plonker.

After a few hours riding at Llandegla

rode there thursday; going into one of the glorious bermed hairpins on the black (which don’t seem to be built to make you scrub speed like at some trail centres) saw a walker on the exit. By the time I was on the exit he was off the trail and we exchanged shouted hellos and thank yous.

Not making a particular point, as I ticked ban ’em all…. (actually I ticked “none” as the Q was FC centre blue runs, which are where I’d expect to find novices/kids/families and other “hazards” that would make me moderate my speed).
