Has anyone actually seen a Forest Service ranger issue a citation to a 
mountain biker anywhere along the PCT within the last 10 years? Has anyone 
seen a Forest Service ranger anywhere along the PCT within the last 10 
years? I have never even seen a Forest Service ranger on the PCT in the last 
10 years of hiking on or near the PCT in the Lake Tahoe area.

I usually say something to mountain bikers I encounter along the PCT.  Most 
of them are reasonable, but a few have gotten belligerent, and a few have 
flipped me off as they bombed by at 20 mph.  Isn't it grand to have to jump 
out of the way of mountain bikes on a trail they're not supposed to be on in 
the first place? Three years ago I encountered two motorcycles on the PCT 
near Mt. Judah. It's getting out of hand. From now on I'm also taking 
pictures and sending them to the Forest Service per Brick.
