my brief takeaway...
* access to trails is a privilege, not a right
* be courteous and yield to other trail users
it saddens me that, yet again, it seems a few bad apples have spoiled the bunch...
upon reflection, it's very likely that the same person who would ride an MTB and yell at someone on a horse to get out of the way, is also the same person who...talks on the quiet car, walks down the sidewalk while looking at their cellphone, rides the shoulder on the highway to cut in front of traffic, cheats on their taxes, etc etc...
that's a tough thing for any group of concerned users to ever overcome...sorry, just venting i guess...
