Mills Reservation is a pristine area of woods perfect to bicycle on dirt in. We feel, however, that never allowing this sport precludes enjoyment of the open woods by many residents & sports enthusiasts. We understand that some individuals may not like cyclists always around; this is why we only ask for several hours of each day in which cycling is allowed. We could require attendance at several educational seminars (e.g., about respect for both etiquette and the environment) that would lead to some sort of license. We could work with JORBA and IMBA, to learn about what other towns do that has been fair & successful. We believe that this is a perfectly reasonable compromise, to share the woods with walkers/runners/bird-watchers/baby-stroller-pushers/equestrians/etc.
