Bicycles Banned on Trails
Rolling Hills has banned mountain bikes and all other wheeled vehicles from the 24 miles of equestrian trails that wind through the private, gated community.
Council members unanimously adopted the law Tuesday after equestrians cited several instances in which horses had been spooked by cyclists. The council feared that serious accidents could result if cyclists continued to use the trails. Motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles were already banned from the trails.
Violators of the ban, which takes effect immediately, could be fined $500 or face six months in jail.
