I've been riding for a long time and totally agree with sayings like "ride don't slide" etc.
But, I think uphill priority needs to be re-evaluated... same with two way green trails... an example for me is "For the kids" a green two way trail. But in reality, is it really "for the kids" or is it for uphill riders? If it is "for the kids" kids and green riders should have priority regardless of the direction.
If we don't prioritize green riders on green trails, we're continuing to build a network for advanced riders, just pretending that we are being inclusive of beginners and kids (green trails are just the way to get to advanced trails).
