Spot on article. As DrewM said before me, just sharing the trails with hikers
begs to be educated enough to salute those you cross when riding. But keeping
the etiquette with those of your own kind is mandatory, especially when those
folks could be the ones handing you that chain breaker you could swear you
stashed in your backpack before leaving home, or in a simpler way, good people
to share a drink and a laugh after the ride.
I try to pass this to the newer generations we encounter down our local trail
system, when we say we must share the trails, it's not some sort of unwritten
traffic law. It's about sharing the EXPERIENCE. And part of that is
communicating with those you run into down the path. Some time ago I met one
of the best riders I know that way, when he was taking a break and helped me
correct my jumping technique. We're close friends from that day on, and almost
ten years have passed…
