I just noticed your post.
I see what ...Hey Yokota,<br />I just noticed your post.<br /><br />I see what you mean about what "type" of bike might be used on the trail, and it's a good point;<br />but I still think that might scare away some riders to call a trail a mountain bike trail. I think most people associate mountain biking w/ crazy up & down stretches populated by lots of rocks, roots, & ruts (the real 3 r's).<br />And then there's the issue of hybrids, recumbents, cruisers, & other cycles that are eliminated by only having the two categories. I know my mountain biking days are over and my road biking days never really got much of a start, so I'd like to see more information about all the rest of the trails.<br />By the way, how long is the Guadalupe River Trail? I've heard San Jose has some pretty good trails in and out of town.trailsnethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12684645113929507372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3429798882538122991.post-2773062452652251962010-11-15T16:17:24.899-07:002010-11-15T16:17:24.899-07:00Maybe they're asking what *type* of bike the t...Maybe they're asking what *type* of bike the trails are appropriate for?<br /><br />I know in my area, the Guadalupe River Trail in San Jose is pretty nice, but there are unpaved gravel segments that are a little bit challenging for the narrow tire set.
