raptor-22 Posted May 5, 2016 Share why not just make rides private? Does the whole world have to know what an individual did this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meezo Posted May 5, 2016 Share Or maybe just ride a bit more responsible? responsible? like cut in on tight corners, and not give way to faster noobs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackster Posted May 5, 2016 Share Nope, all that's necessary is that when you're riding a mixed-use trail and you see other walkers/runners/horseriders ahead, you follow four simple rules. 1) Slow right down - slow jog speed. 2) Ring your bell. Get a bell if you ride mixed used trails a lot. 2) Pass (slowly) and give them right of way. Wheeled traffic yields to foot traffic, that's the rule. 4) Greet them in a friendly way. If you can see far ahead and there's no-one on the trail, put foot, have a ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Ruinaard Posted May 5, 2016 Share Not sure if you read the article before replying? I dont think its an issue of how to ride. I think there is enough evidence out there of the speeds that people are doing and irrespective of the majority that may be good citizens there will always be a knob. Or even a guy who rides at 4 am to avoid the crowds when its pretty uncrowded. But haters are going to hate and a record now exist of the speed a KoM was doing on a segment - any segment, and to get a KoM you may be going pretty quick. Even on N Farms some of the speeds on the downhill segments scare the cr@p out of me and I am nowhere near the top of the leaderboard. So they go the evidence that the MTBers are "speeding" right there on Strava.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time when someone needs to collect 'evidence' is when someone else was riding with no regard for any of the other trail users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
