where i live. there are lots of places to ride. but to get to some of those places you have to ride this trail called Rails and Trails. Now the government has very bought this and now they say we can't ride on it. now they are black topping it too. i think its pretty stupid. because who in the heck would run or ride the bicycle on that when maybe some one could come out and maybe kill them or rape them you never know. and this Rails and Trails goes though the woods right beside the river. yea but the bad thing about this now. we can't ride on it but i and a lot of other people still will. i will keep on riding on it till they pass the law here where people can ride 4 wheelers and dirt bikes on it.

i live in punxsutawney, pennsylvania. if any one lives around there or knows what i am talking about. please tell me what you think. i need a lot of help

thanks bye

Yep, it's called 'Rails to Trails'. They tear up old, unused rail lines and turn them in to bicycle/jogging trails. I actually think it's a good idea. Only bad part is after the restoration, some riding areas get closed down. Biking is a good way to stay in shape, and I'd rather they have those trails to ride on, than the highways!;)

got it in Iowa too, called The Trace

anyway, before it was converted over you could ride on it. now they will confiscate your quad if they catch you. There are other ways to get around and other places to ride. I would stay off of it.

well lets just say i won't be riding on it as much as i am. but no people are gonna be running on it riding bicycles on it any way. i have. the government is just wasting the money on nothing. when they could be putting the money towards something more important

the gov't ain't confiscating a damn thing from me! most of you guys race and got all these performance mods, all you gotta do is run from em! its illegal to ride on the mountain i ride on but we still do, the cops either got 4x4 atvs or 4x4 suvs, now if you cant outrun them you got a problem!

I live in Greenville and most of the play riding I do when I'm not racing mx is in friends' fields or practice tracks.

I get too nervous just hauling off down a set of tracks....many guys around here have almost got their quads confiscated on the spot.:eek2: :(

That's why I just stick to private land and race tracks.:)
