Why Do Mountain Bikers Not Yield To Hikers If That's The Rule?

 


The sign says mountain bikers yield to hikers.

But it's been my hiking experience that it is quite rare for a mountain biker to yield to me when I'm hiking on the trails in the Red Rock area off of the Late Night parking lot off State Route 160.

I hike a lot of miles. And I'd estimate nine our of ten mountain bikers do not yield to me as a hiker.

Most mountain bikers are zipping along pretty well and assume a hiker will get out of the way, I guess.

I also ride a mountain bike on these trails and I do stop to let a hiker pass.

What are your thoughts?
