Trail conflicts can be especially thorny between cyclists and equestrians, because both seem to prefer a narrow trail and a more natural experience. Equestrians, however, must contend with a 2,000-pound animal with sharp hearing and a “fight-or-flight” instinct. In these circumstances, education of the bicycling community is critical. When cyclists are sensitive to equestrians on the trail, and communicate with equestrians to negotiate a pass, problems are rare.
