On the beaten bike trail

If the moon had trees, it might look something like this bike trail in Cunningham Park. CityNoise has a photo set.

I understand that most people on this blog do not like bicycle riders and they sure as hell do not ride bicycles themselves so it is understandable that you could not identify the photo but...
This is what a "mountain bike trail" (meant for jumps and and rough riding) is supposed to look like when it is man made.

The title says it's a bike trail and so does the caption. What more do you want?

Speak for yourself. I ride every weekend in FMCP park with my kids.

Better than when it looks like this because of illegal riding on the walking trails. Biking isn't my thing, but if the bikers are in an area where they belong and are not hurting anyone why knock them?

This is shocking - they should shut this down. The damage this is doing to the roots and ecosystem is inexcusable.

Once again, the myth of bike riders as green types is just that - a myth.

Remember this the next time a Mexican food delivery boy runs you down.

Since this is man made the parks department probably took steps to protect the trees. It is difficult to see how far away the trees are, perhaps they are not as close as they look.
