Dodging the lynching

[dirt huffer]

There are KOM's posted on a hill in St. Paul, Minnesota where people have simply driven their car up the hill to post a record time.

Amen !
KOM seekers flying past other riders and hikers is a real problem. Infact I think it is a real treat to trails in some places. Let’s face it, if you are pushing that hard, you are on the limit of man and machine and it endangers other users. There are times and places you can push the limits but the whole Strava thing seems to make people do that everywhere.
On another note, a lot argue ebikes wreck the trails. I don’t believe this to be true, but even if it is the impact would be minimal. I think users that don’t help to maintain the trails they ride are a bigger problem. This goes for both Mtb and eMtb users.
I do help maintain my local trails, and I give kudos to others that do too.

An interesting and weirdly coincidental development...
