Yes Margaret, and that circles back to a point brought up at one of the meetings. Should there be destination bike trails--so that if one wanted to bike into town or to school that is possible. melinda ________________________________ From: Lincoln <[email protected]> on behalf of Margaret Olson <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 5, 2022 12:32 PM To: John Kimball <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] <[email protected]>; Lincoln Talk <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [LincolnTalk] biking on conservation land
Some thoughts. There are people who do not want bikes on the trails. There are people who do not want bikes on the roads. There are people who do not want bikes on the roadside paths. There are people who do not think we should build more roadside paths, let alone bike trails. Bikes are a much much more environmentally friendly way to get from place to place than a car.

I have voted for every conservation purchase since, and have very little sympathy for bikes on conservation land. Bikes do not use the roadside paths but feel entitled to use the roads, and I have no confidence that they would confine themselves to approved conservation trails. For example, I see no need to allow them in the idyllic Adams Woods. Quincy would roll over in his grave. Speed seems to be the norm for bikes and the thrill of going downhill over rocks and roots. Look out below for all mere pedestrians. Bikes should not be allowed on any narrow paths where they may run into walkers and especially children. Bikes and dogs are even more incompatible. I strongly oppose the vast proposed expansion of bike trails. -- The LincolnTalk mailing list. To post, send mail to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
