I'm interested in your opinion about this? I won't give any comment in advance and also expect your correct opinions.

It's interesting there's no public response, although I know a lot is happening in the background.
Right, Mr. Goršičmežikanje By the way, I'd probably write something here too!

I don't understand these cryptic messages ... what response are you expecting? Or why is any response needed?

Brave guys, I really envy them. I'd be in the ER already before the first bend. velik nasmeh

As for environmentalists, nature doesn't give a damn about a couple of crazy cyclists and will survive.

Super video. @tine.sl- maybe you know where this trail is?
I'd like to point out that there are people who are both bikers and hikers and who successfully seek compromises between these two activities. I don't know why I notice such negative attitude to cyclists, since hikers can also destroy paths in wet conditionsmežikanje

OK, Primož

Don't know what damage cyclists have(we) done across Pasje Pečine?

Anyway not interesting anymore after the mountaineering community's massacre...
I think no damage is being done. Am I wrong?

Cyclists themselves should in my opinion know where they belong.
I think we all agree we can't make every trail, marked or not, into some wild riding polygon. And Dolski is already DH track for many although it's not.
On the other side hikers should realize not all mountain cyclists are downhillers and most of us still just bike to mountains like others on foot.nasmeh

Bike touring – safe and tolerant
10 recommendations prepared by the Alpine Countries Association (Club Arc Alpin)

Bike touring is a healthy outdoor sport offering excellent opportunities for training, adventure and socializing. The following recommendations were shaped by mountaineering associations so that bike touring trips are safer, more environmentally friendly and without disputes.

1. Fit on the bike
Bike touring is an endurance sport. It beneficially affects heart, muscles and circulation, requiring you to be healthy and realistically assess abilities. Don't heed time limits, gradually increase intensity and length of tours.

2. Plan carefully
For choosing a bike tour suiting your endurance and skills, use specialized literature, maps, internet and experts. Always adjust tour to group, weather forecast and conditions. Warning to solo bikers: even small mishap can have serious consequences.

3. Cycle only on suitable paths
Don't cycle off hardened paths to avoid soil erosion. Use only permitted roads and paths, respect local limits and rules to avoid misunderstandings with landowners, path keepers and other users.

4. Check your bike
Before each ride check brakes, tire pressure, wheel trueness, suspension and gears. Regular service at specialized mechanic ensures bike is technically flawless. Ensure saddle in proper position.

5. Ensure you have everything needed
In backpack: warm clothes, rain and wind protection, bike repair kit and first aid kit, also mobile phone (EU emergency: 112), battery lamp, enough food and drink. Gloves and glasses protect hands and eyes. Map and GPS aid orientation.

6. Always wear helmet
Uphill or downhill – always wear helmet! In fall or crash helmet can protect from head injuries or save life. Protectors prevent injuries too.

7. Hikers have priority
Be considerate to hikers by announcing presence early and slowing down. Stop if needed. Friendly greeting welcomed better. Cycle in small groups, avoid paths mass used by hikers.

8. Adjust your speed
Adapt speed to conditions! Ride cautiously, always ready to brake as unexpected obstacles can appear anytime. Learn more on riding and braking at bike touring courses.

9. Leave no trace
Prevent soil erosion and path damage by gentle braking without wheel lock. Take trash away, no noise.

10. Think of animals
Wild animals feed in dusk, so cycle daylight to not disturb. Approach livestock walking pace, close livestock gates behind.
