Damage to flora and fauna is becoming more of an issue, every year. In many of the national parks you are not allowed to cycle or run !! Interestingly, where bikes have created / maintained a path, in the event of a forrest fire, the path forms a natural barrier and can help control spread. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
