It seems that there is a lot of irrational FUD going on. How many reports of hikers/horse riders/cyclists collisions do we have out there?

=================================
I would point out that what you do yourself is NOT able to be extrapolated
to "most mountain bike riders". How the heck would you know what most
riders do?
If you want to find out what most do, ask the riders of horses, and that will
give you a much more accurate rendition of the situation
