I believe this is another fall-out from Covid-19.more people bought bikes and
dogs. So we are now inundated and need to figure out how to please both.Lynne

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
Hi
I don’t appreciate the characterization of people wanting to keep the trails
more for hiking than biking as “entitled”
It is a reasonable point of view which others can disagree
I like to bike but would rather keep our trails more for walking

I agree with Barbara. Bikes are dictating changes to the roads and now the
trails. Please leave the trails to the two footed walkers and four footed
critters. I have been on trails in places allowing groups of bikers on
trails and walking on those trails becomes perilous and the opposite of
Hello Lincoln!
I'm a bit late to all of this and caught the correspondence last minute
from our conservation person, Michele regarding this topic a couple weeks
back.
I am in complete agreement with John Mendelson and Doug Carson and other
proponents of less restrictive rules pertaining to bike

I would like to put in a word for horseback riders
That is a very good point.
The bike meets horse scenario could easily be fatal.
How to mark the trails to greatly reduce bike/horse interactions??

I am concerned for several reasons about opening up many trails to bikes.
1. Bikes can be harmful to plants along the trails. In addition they can
be a danger to riders and their horses, as well as walkers who want to
enjoy the quiet of Lincoln’s natural beauty.

To add to my “Fantasy Wish List” would be to have color-coded loops with names,
like “Orange Loop 1 mile” , “Red Loop 3 miles”, “Blue Loop 5 miles”, “Yellow
Loop 10 miles”.
The loops would have corresponding color dots on the existing signs or some
such system.
There would also be loop

I had road biked for decades-Primarily Lincoln and Concord but the roads
are just too unsafe- the neglect is appalling!
For the last decade and with the purchase of a mountain bike, I have
enjoyed better workouts, less bent rims and zero flat tires.
Let’s also hope that common sense
One thing on my “wish list” is better signage as to where the trail(s) pick up
again when they are broken up by a road. When a trail spits you onto a road, I
often do not know where the trail picks up again on the other side - or in
which direction to walk along the road to find the link up on
I cant stay silent any longer. Our roads are unsafe and getting worse for
cycling and walking, particularly for children who are harder to see from
the SUV's that dominate our roadways. Our trails are plentiful and
relatively underused. To give 10% more access to give kids and other
cyclists
I would like to put in a word for horseback riders on the trails where we
are allowed Bikes often run up behind my horse silently and as walkers have
said there is no time to react. I have seen horses bolt from unannounced
bikes or sudden shouts from bikers . We all need to share the trails but
I agree with Barbara.
Particularly in the Mt. Misery area, the change is massive, essentially all
trails are open to bikes. I highly disapprove of this drastic excessive
radical extension over current bike routes. More practical would be less
expansion, so less contact between between bikers
Hi Lincoln Talk,
I haven't had a chance to read all the comments but I know people have
mentioned that the Conservation Commission is meeting tonight to vote on
whether to enact proposed changes to trail use that include going from 8 to
19 miles of trails for recreational bike use and giving
16 matches
