I agree with Spindrift, as a walker and off road cyclist as well as legally riding a small very lightweight trials bike in the local area.

I find that the ByWays are a means of getting to places away from the endless stream of traffic. I often though find them impassable due to heavy usage by horses. The damage by one horse in one day during wet periods far outweighs any damage I have ever made on my much lighter transport.

Then when the churned up mud and clay settles and dries like artexed concrete it damages wheel rims and tyres on the mountain bikes and is impassable to walking comfortably for more than a couple of miles.

Often I have to resort to using the "trialie" to get to places as other forms of transport have been effectively blocked to me by a part of society who never consider those who cannot afford the luxury of buying and stabling a large pet.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
