That bicycle has a distinct lack of pivots, tho.

Thanks 'Drew. 

Having just finished rebuilding a ton of the features on Imonator, and now working on this, the NSMBA is working hard to ensure the Shore keeps its heritage and everyone from the Tiny Mechanic, to the guy pushing his VPS Shore up Fromme in Jeans in 2020, to Gunter visiting from Germany gets to ride some cedar.

I mean, its a reasonably well defined term?

"able to be maintained at a certain rate or level."

You can modify it beyond that as it specifically pertains to trails, but I think its colloquially fairly well understood. As Karen meant it "this trail will be generally the same, and not become a giant creek, as long as I'm around".

Or you could get way more detailed and lay out a Limits of Acceptable Change framework? 

I hear what you're saying to a degree, trails have impact on the environment by their very definition. But that doesn't mean they can't be "sustainable" in the short or long term.

Quimper is awesome! Would love a tour guide.

MORE DOG PHOTOS.

You're gonna be famous!

Agreed. MG DD is a bit of an anchor. Its a penalty I'll pay in the winter when its wet, but hard to justify in the summer.

This is NOT a fast rolling tire. If you're rolling down pavement, you can hear it turning energy into noise.

I do quite like the throwback XC framesets they're doing right now. 

But, I have zero use for one.

Its returning to the great years in the late 90's, early 2000s. 

Real coverage makes such a massive difference; more fans means more money from brands for teams, which means better support for racers.... which means better racing, which means more fans...... etc. Loving it. 

I hope next year's Cannondale is blue and yellow.

Hey team - 

All land manager contacts live here: https://nsmba.ca/contact-us/

I wouldn't consider emailing Council "full nuclear" - they're just where Staff get their directives and priorities. But infoweb is the best place to start if you're not comfortable with Council. You can also try the "report a problem" DNV website function. 

And agreed - there's not nearly as much despair in the stairs these days! I'm not sure I miss it, though?

Long story short; challenges with the creek bank, setbacks, etc. 

We're trying to work on a solution on the east bank that would be acceptable to DNV. 

Y'know what would help with that? Some political will. @D_C_ has the correct path forward here.

TAP signs yes. Trail signs not on CMHC land, no.

"Agreed. Now NSMBA has to step up to the plate and get something happening instead of this wait and see approach. At the very least big no ebikes acending on DH flow trails signage would be a great start. "

As a general rule, we (the NSMBA) don't control signage. We can (and do) advocate for signage or signage changes, consult on proposed signage, and provide other input for signage on DNV land, but we can't just go print signs and put 'em up.

If you sent a letter in, thank you. YOU did this. It sounds cheesy, but it was your letter that put them over the edge - because without all of them, nothing would have changed.

I'd echo what AlanB said - if you sent a complaint, send a quick thank you as a follow up. It goes a long way.

I asked for some clarification and specificity on a couple things. xy9ine has it: you can put your pitchforks down for the moment. I'm glad everyone keeps them in good shape though! Never know when we're gonna need 'em. 

· The District Parks Department plans on maintaining Grannies’ current status as a sanctioned, permitted, bike primary trail for the foreseeable future"

· To the best of my knowledge, there are no other departments actively engaged in works or plans in that area.

They put counters on trails somewhat regularly; so does Metro/LSCR.

Nobody panic. 

"Fortunately, the rumor you have heard about Grannies is only that - a rumor.

We can confirm that the District Parks Department has not engaged in any discussions regarding the future of this trail, and we do not currently have any plans regarding its future beyond maintaining its current status."

Important to note that the FLRORD/RST-BC ebike policy applies nowhere on the Shore.

I'm not sure what UROC 'banned'?

"The agreement reached with the private landowners around Cumberland in 2015 specifically grants access for non-motorized, recreational use of the trails and for motorized access when necessary for events or trail work."

They advocated for non-motorized recreation, and the landowner granted access for non-motorized recreation. 

Its up to clubs to decide what they advocate for and in most cases the land manager has final say on who can do what on their land. UROC didn't actually 'ban' anything. Agreements, and often funding, are often predicated on wording like "non-motorized", especially in the US.
