I have single track next to my route for about 2/3 of my commute. In theory I could ride out my door and be on the dirt in about 1 block, and only on pavement for the bridges and overpasses. I got some nice tires and logged onto MTBR to see what people had to say about the trails. And it turned out that all the single track is off-limits to bicycles, thanks to the horsey set. Frustrating!
