This is no word of a lie: having ridden as long as I have there are certain things that I thought were a given I would never see. Ever. Last year I was going up Mtn. Hwy and upon reaching Bobsled I saw a guy going down with, get this, a KID TRAILER attached to his bike with his kid in the trailer. You know, the type that attaches to the rear axle….. I have stopped making any such claims of "I thought I would never" since this clearly shows how groomed things are getting.
bah, that's nothing. back in the shuttle whore days one of the guys took his kid down ned's - on a trail a bike. now mind you it was a foes mono dh so that was like riding a bike with 9" travel fork. only problem was the kid kept losing his grip on the handlebars and pedal. good thing there was a roll of duct tape handy - hands and feet securely fashioned after that!
I wonder how long it will be before I see…….:hurt: It's coming. And with the parking lot, you wait until the handicap parking is enacted, and thus mandates a paved section, and thus, something for the said wheelchair to be able to go down. Give it time.
you can't seriously think this is a bad thing? i think it would be great to see a local wheel-chair accessible type trail on the shore. i would not want to see an existing trail get paved over, but putting in a trail like that would be awesome. from a PR perspective, that would be a huge boon to the nsmba and if they are smart it's something they should get behind and make happen.
We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.
