Out and about on hiking paths and trails with due respect and consideration.
Hikers and bikers – a joint effort
Hikers - use their marked trails whenever possible
- yield to bikers without unnecessarily obstructing their passage
Bikers- use their marked trails whenever possible
- anticipate other trail users and make themselves noticed (e.g. bicycle bell)
- reduce their speed when hikers approach or in situations where hikers could be near
- let hikers go first
- show consideration for the use of trails by driving respectfully and carefully (e.g. no skid marks on nature trails/gravel roads)
- respect signals (e.g. push the bike)
- respect rights of landowners (e.g. no trespassing)
