Okay, here a small rant about mountain bikers…
This morning I was walking in forest to make some pictures. This forest (Scholtehagen area) is access only allowed when you are walking.
So I was walking there, minding my own business when suddenly a group of mountain-bikers came into the forest from along the waterside of brook (where no one is allowed to go). They didn’t use the paths there, but ride straight through the forest… making a lot of noise as it seem that they wanted that everyone within a range of 5 kilometers wanted to hear them. They almost ride against someone else walking there, making loud comments that this person had to go to side so they pass…
Pardon me? THEY had no right to be there at all and the way they behaved was way out of line.
Now I know that there are enough mountain-bikers who listen to the rules and try not to be an inconvenience to anyone… but some… they should take away their bikes so they can later collect them from the police-office for a nice amount of money…
I so agree with you.
I am a fanatic “mountainbiker”. But this has to be done the right way. There are many routes were a mountainbiker can enjoy their sport without harrassing other people or destroying nature. Fortunally. Those “SundayBikers” will be Fined “if” they are cought by the authorities. This is very a-social behaviour.
