HIKING - HIKERS OR BIKERS? - Articles & Great Hiking Tips
Recently, I almost had a need to change my middle name to Pancake. It was a cool spring day and Tom and I were innocently hiking along the skirts of a Texas river when out of the Wild Blue Yonder, a biker appeared from nowhere on the trail, pulling at least three g's.
Instinct kicked in and I barely manage to hop out of the way, nearly spiraling down the riverbank in the process, and taking Tom with me.

A hiking-biking trail is one of the more dangerous trails to tackle. Bikers feel like they own the trail while hikers feel the same. And the hikers are at the greatest disadvantage because they don't have a 'weapon'.
This type of trail should be avoided when small kids and pets are along for the hike.
And whether you're the biker or the hiker, always exhibit the Outdoor Code of Courtesy (OC-OC) because when you leave the area, you may find that you're driving the Geo and the hiker that you almost plastered is driving the Humvee.
