I knew Quincy and yes he would be rolling over in his grave if he thought there were dirt bikes being ridden on those trails, just ask Kim at Red Rail.

Quincy >>would roll over in his grave. I'm not taking a stand for or against bikes on the trails, but I have to say this statement made me giggle a bit. According to Tom Gumbart, who used to lead our conservation walks through Adams Woods, some of the trails there are depressed below grade because Adams and his friends used to gallop horses down the narrow trails. The 19th-century equivalent to dirt bikes? So not sure he would be rolling over in his grave.

I have voted for every conservation purchase since, and have very little sympathy for bikes on conservation land. Bikes do not use the roadside paths but feel entitled to use the roads, and I have no confidence that they would confine themselves to approved conservation trails. For example, I see no need to allow them in the idyllic Adams Woods. Quincy would roll over in his grave. Speed seems to be the norm for bikes and the thrill of going downhill over rocks and roots. Look out below for all mere pedestrians. Bikes should not be allowed on any narrow paths where they may run into walkers and especially children. Bikes and dogs are even more incompatible. I strongly oppose the vast proposed expansion of bike trails. -- The LincolnTalk mailing list. To post, send mail to Lincoln@lincolntalk.org <mailto:Lincoln@lincolntalk.org> .
