ANOTHER Irresponsible Mountain Biker Hit and Run!

"A few bad apples"? No, ALL mountain bikers are bad apples! EVERY time they cause an accident, they run away so that won't have to take responsibility for what they caused. Is there any form of life lower than a mountain biker? I doubt it.

Right on the heels of the bad accident in Novato in which two
equestrians were hurt by speeding illegal mountain bikers; this

EQUESTRIAN SERIOUSLY HURT BY MOUNTAIN BIKER WHO ILLEGALLY ACCESSED TRAIL
(O7-07-2013

Mt. bikes are not allowed on the steep, narrow Pioneer Express Trail
for safety reasons.

FOLSOM LAKE SRA - A horseback rider was injured by a speeding mt.
biker who illegally accessed the Pioneer Express Trail this past week.

The equestrian was seriously hurt, ending up in the emergency room at
Sutter Hospital with a broken humerus at the shoulder. According to
the docs, she will be immobilized and unable to work for at least six
weeks.

The accident happened in a narrow, twisty section of the Pioneer
Express Trail. The horse rider specifically selected the Pioneer
Express Trail to ride because she didn't want any interaction with mt.
bikes. Her horse had suffered another recent accident where a speeding
mt. bike unable to stop had physically slammed into her horse. She was
attempting to re-introduce her now bike-adverse horse to the trail and
had her professional trainer with her.

The mt. biker, who wasn't expected by the equestrians, appeared
suddenly on a blind corner. The horse re-acted to avoid the fast bike
and the rider fell off, injuring her shoulder and head. Reportedly,
the mt. biker also had two ear buds in, also illegal unsafe behavior.
The biker was reluctant to get involved, wouldn't answer any
questions, and left as soon as he realized there were others to help
her.

In both accidents, the mt. bikers were not injured.

If anyone knows the mt. biker involved with the injury accident,
