Some interesting reading there, although I don't think we need two threads!

Not sure how that happened. The internet is slow at my house tonight and I may have got impatient and pressed submit twice.

It's good to see that they are trying to make the tracks safe for us to ride.

I used to think that all bike riders are good people, I don't think that anymore, I have seen some bad behavior & talking with some of the bad egg's, also the riders attitude on the different forums sites,  shows me what riders we have out there, it's disappointing to see those with the attitude spoil it for us.

If an area was closed down, those with the attitude would be the first ones to complain. 

Setting up different tracks with one way arrows is a great idea safety wise, in my opinion it's not going to work, because of the  riders out there that won't be told what to do, with those sort of people out there, they will ride where they want & go the wrong way, that will make it even more dangerous then before, just imagine riding along a track thinking that we are all riding the same way, then all of a sudden you meet riders coming towards you that you weren't ready fore, I for one would be nervous riding on such marked tracks.

That's just my 2 bob's worth.
Don't mess with old bikers, they don't just look crazy. :)

My first motor bike ride at the age 13, 58 years later I'm still riding.
