And Just Like That... More People Cycling... On Local Trails.

It was happening before this pandemic and its lockdown... And is happening even more now. So what will things look like after it all gets back to some semblance of normality? I'm thinking some will stop riding; maybe even a large majority. But I'm also thinking that some will have discovered how great trail riding is, and will stick to it. Meaning... Even more riders on local trails.

Yesterday evening while out riding SATN trails I came across maybe four families out riding the trails. On average the kids were between maybe 5-6 and 12... A great age range to get kids interested in a sport longterm.

So... With this unexpected boom taking place... On top of the growth that was taking place before the virus hit... What is needed in order to keep trail environments from becoming a stressed out experience?
