""A lot of positive comes out of building a sanctioned trail and bike center - they allow kids and adults to progress their skills and foster community cohesion - but more advanced bikers are more interested in pushing limits.""
""It's hard for a trail builder to justify building trails that are challenging enough for advanced riders when often that demographic goes vigilante and off the map. It's a weird balance.""
Santa Clara County is considering the development of bike-only trails in local parks to mitigate illegal tracks and conflicts between bikers and hikers. A recent study identified two parks suitable for downhill trails and six others for bike parks with pump tracks. This initiative has generated significant support and debate, highlighting the challenges of catering to both advanced bikers and community needs. Existing bike-friendly trails often lead to conflicts with other users, prompting organized advocacy for mountain biking.
