I’ve walked our dogs at Mt Misery for the past 25+ years One of my dogs loves chasing bikes; so when we're in the off-leash area, I’m super careful. The other dog just is dark and small, and afraid of bikes, and yes, they sometimes seem to come out of nowhere. Certainly it must be fun to ride

Re: [LincolnTalk] Corrected - Trail Use Proposal - not too late to postpone and impact on walkers and nature

Also, for context: Lincoln has 80+ miles of trails ( https://www.lincolntown.org/245/Conservation). So the increase of trails that are accessible to bikes from 8-19 miles still restricts mountain biking to only ~24% of the trails that exist in the town (up from 10%). So there are still 61+
