It's fairly easy to see that the stickers can be peeled off, which I'm sure 
most bikers do upon riding a trail.  Ignorance of the law is a lame defence.  
I'd have to believe any biker that rides the PCT knows they are in violation 
of the law.  I was told once that mountain biker magazines encourage use on 
non-biker trails in order to support their cause.  Why not build your own 
trail?

It's most likely a concerned person scrawled a reminder of the law.
