[QUOTE="Walkerooni, post: 681536, member: 80791"] Did the CF summer 2018. A lot of similar terrain to these pics. Can you describe what your technique was as you approached walkers on these stretches? Because in our experience on CF virtually NO cyclists announced their approach by way of bell, and only a few by voice, typically when they were about 2 feet from the back of your knee. On this terrain walkers are concentrating, trying to figure out where to safely step next, and the inconsideration of most cyclists made it dangerous out there. One woman I met was forcibly shoved off the trail by a passing cyclist, causing her to fall and leaving her badly injured physically and spiritually. I had sharp larger-than-fist-sized sharp rocks thrown up from wheels racing by, staggering me off the trail and causing bleeding. As someone who loves a good challenge, i can understand wanting to try some of those sections on a mountain bike, but keep in mind that the suggested bike route map is designed not metelt to give cyclists the ultimate kamikaxe experience, but also for the safety of travellers on foot. While it is nice to share the trail, cyclists please be mindful that we can't necessarily jump out of the way safely, especially when we can't hear you approach. (I am very fit, agile, with acute hearing, and was almost taken down 6 or 7 times. I feared for those less able to move quickly and for the hard of hearing, who would have no hope.) [/QUOTE]
