Last fall I discovered Roslagsleden for MTB cykling and was very surprised, to find to guys on big enduros using it. Two enduros did more damage to the trail then 1000 bikers during XC08 could do. Is this the reason why a ban of MTBs is discussed?
Or because some bikes don't mind about slowing down when meeting hikers? Please guys (and girls): take care when meeting people on the trail, you are not i a competition. Some people don't believe that a biker doesn't like crashing in them, because then he will hurt himself, too.
"Wie man in den Wald hineinruft, so schallt es auch wieder heraus!" is a German saying, meaning, "What you shout into the forrest will echo out later!" (or so...). So slow down, be polite, say "Hej, god morgon, what a phantastic day out in the forrest!" and people will be happy and friendly also to you!.
