Easy example of that: in the United States, bicycles are forbidden in federal Wilderness Areas. It doesn't matter if you're riding the bicycle, pushing it, or carrying it on your shoulder. You might be able to get away with completely disassembling it and carrying the pieces in your backpack, but I don't know if anyone's tried it. (People have gotten in trouble from other attempts at getting around the "no form of mechanical transport" rule, such as climbing out of a hovering helicopter.) -- Mark _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
