@Gary was that to me? ours is often crowded and full of people at many different levels, are many different ages, and on many different forms of wheels. collisions, which still happen with some frequency, often result in ambulance rides. so common practice is to use one direction. when its more open or red-bull does races, it's multidirectional/open to interpretation.

and @sethimus the tiny size is to match our horrible trails on our widdle east coast mountains. duh. and yes, i strongly resisted the urge to respond with the obvious "well so's your..." :D

not in Whistler anymore :/
A) If you're talking about the old hiking trail stuff from the Trans event then lolz

B) Do you really think walking/hiking originated in Europe?
where exactly in north america do you have something remotely similar to the european alpine cultural landscape that made it necessary to develope a vast networks of trails and paths to connect all the small settlements up in the mountains? there is still so many unused space on the american continent that it just wasn't needed as you could do all the farming on easy accessable terrain and didn't needed to transfer wooded mountains to grassy alpes

Bentonville obviously, to connect all the Walmarts.

oh right

IF NOT Europe THEN North America??

Geez mate. Both Asia and South America have oodles of centuries, if not millenia old Alpine trails.

*edit granted, they're not often cobbled etc. And Australia has nothing like that that I've ever seen haha.

And long may the pointless bickering over the best location of imaginary *naturally* worn down in (mainly by feet and vehicle) sections of ground continue.

Seth, claiming it's the only place is so full of shit..... Like trump speech levels of full of shit.
There are NO if's or but's about it.
but it is well known that wandering animals in mountains were only introduced to the Americas when the White Man showed up

Some of the trails around here have archeological digs showing continuous use for 9000 years.

From bears obviously, humans didn't have camp fires or tools until Yurpeens arrived and had exclusively used trains for transportation.

I heard they had streetcar networks all throughout the mountains

we have lost so much with the dominance of the car and now e-bike

MOAR likely fiken stole it!
This Stolen shit infuriates me..even as 1/8th boriginal!
We stole it from the Giant lizards….but no one thinks of the lizards, and crucifies us for it.
The 7/8ths side also likes to tell, do you think we wanted to come down here 250yrs ago with hardly any mountains with the premonition view to the sport of gravity bicycle racing, infested with legless lizards that make you either bleed out or in and die excruciatingly, have big black spiders that do the same, ambush swimming lizards at every freshwater hole thatll drag you under and roll you until youre out of breath and then cruise around with your carcass as a victory show…andnif you do try to swim off the prison youre a chance at being bitten in half escaping!
