Hello Everyone! How about we SHARE the trails! For Portland to be such a bike friendly city people sure don't care for us Mt. Bikers using there trails. Why? I don't understand!! It's not like this in Central,OR or many other places I've been, only in Portland. Let's all respect one anothers hobbies and enjoy the outdoors together.

Hilarious to lisen to some bikers complain about not being given access to certain trails. Some bikers are to hikers as some drivers are to bikers - unaccepting. You can't put bikers and hikers together on some of these trails - they are too narrow and it's dangerous. Just like you can't drive your dirt bike or ATC up these paths either. Sure some of the hiking trials are tantalizing for single-track riders, but off limits...

Perhaps Forest park should adopt a system similar to MMill creek canyon in Salt Lake City. They run hikers on even days and bikers on odd days. Regardless bikers and hikers need to obey trail right of way rules. Those established by the IMBA are a great guideline.

Forest Park is for beginners? Yes and no. Leif Erickson road and some of the fire roads (if you're going down them) are beginner/novice trails. Anyone who starts from Hwy 30 and rides UP to Skyline via trails, not roads, knows that Forest Park has far more to offer than just beginner trails. Secondly, I understand that most of the trails in Forest Park are labeled "no biking," but I can't figure out why. We bikers share the trails with hikers/runners, so why can't they do the same with us? Born and raised in Portland, a bicycling city, known to be liberal; I have yet to understand why people get so uptight about sharing trails. In fact, it's ridiculous. As for Swan; you know you've never knocked a biker off their bike, because if you did, you'd get your a$$ BEAT. Word to your mother.
