[pct-l] Illegal Mountain Biking on the PCT - Now in video form

[Lindsey Sommer]

Eek, some of these are freaky. I used to mountain bike, but came to the
conclusion that flying down a rock covered dirt trail WHERE I MIGHT HIT
PEOPLE went against my own logic. Plus, I like my collar bones to be
intact.

Good call on finding them! I'm all for mountain bikers enjoying themselves,
just not where they can run me over.

Cheers,
Lindsey
