Safety Rules For Mountain Biking
Sunday, March 22, 2009
Our goal is to find the appropriate balance between access and natural resource protection. We applaud mountain bike associations that promote safe riding and ask that all mountain bikers adhere to some basis safety rules:
- Yield the right of way.
- Control your speed and pass with care.
- Give warning well in advance when overtaking horses and hikers. If necessary, stand off to one side to let oncoming horses go by and talk to riders as they pass.
- Stay on designated roads and trails.
- Don't disturb wildlife or livestock.
- Pack out all litter.
- Respect property minimize impact by avoiding muddy trails, excessive braking or crosscutting switchbacks.
- Know local rules.
- Plan ahead.
- When possible, never ride alone. If you must ride solo, let someone know where you plan to go and when you plan to return.
