My point exactly, that path should be left open, and as far as going around them - why cant DownCycles example of bikes in the middle of the trail be gone around? I mean compare apples to apples - If your in the way, your in the way, its that simple.:confused:
Thanks for bringing my point back in some form of reasonable clarity. I think many people may have misinterpreted what I meant by being "in the way". I'm not referring to people stopping in sections or spots where they can be ridden around; I'm actually totally ok with that. What I don't like seeing is people standing (or their bikes being left) in the middle of a section that if you don't ride the trail and have to "go around" them would result in a bad crash on your part or a potentially dangerous impact between you and them. I mean narrow singletrack sections or blind spots where riders tend to be moving fast, and in either case where the "side" of the trail is dangerous or unrideable.

I don't think I'm really being unreasonable in that regard, I'm not whining, just stating what should be the VERY obvious. As for spots like the top of Alpine (or anywhere really), when you stop you should always afford any uphill riders the courtesy of easy passage by you.
