Remember:mountain bikers should yield to hikers andequestrians.3. Respect the trail, wildlife, and environmentPlease don’t skid or ride on trails when they are muddy; it causesunnecessary trail widening and erosion, makes more work for thosewho maintain the trails, and may lead to long-lasting damage. Donot ride off-trail, as this can damage the ecosystem and spread theseeds of invasive plants. Do not widen the trail to avoid obstacles;carry your bike over obstacles if you cannot ride over them.4.
