[pct-l] Wheeled Conveyances on the PCT

[Tortoise]

Now this is a good idea. We should start with current information.  hikers already have pictures of trail damage on the PCT and other trails in Washington Oregon and California where bikers have Rode illegally on trails and caused damage.

Then someone to organize this by trail location.

Also useful would be pictures and examples of damage done by legal mountain bike riding on trails open to mountain bikers to illustrate that this is a widespread problem Even where legal.

Of course, this invitation extends to all PCT day hikers, section hikers and thru hikers who want to share their hiker/biker experiences.  Maybe somebody with more talent than I possess would produce a 2013 PCT video exclusively presenting a pictorial/video record of trail conditions as they presently exist.  Video of hiker/biker confrontations would seem to me to be particularly convincing.  2 or 3 bikers whizzing by at 25 mph would convince me of the inherent danger of mixed use of the PCT.
