These attitudes make me so angry. I read an article earlier that said the hikers had let most of it go to shit. Fixed by mountain bikers. Isn’t that always the way?
The Cape to Cape trail here in NS is similar. Not for bikes, but bikers maintain it.
If a mountain biker rides a hiking trail and no one is there do they make a sound?
On the positive side from the article:
“the Department of Tourism won’t stop the mountain bike tours from running along the East Coast Trail, and said that a compromise between the two groups is needed.”
