Poster responds by posting picture of a Dutch commuter bike.....Although, honestly a proper Dutch bike has a slacker fork and would probably handle better.

For anyone wondering. Single track generally refers to trails that a single wheel width wide (<18in). There are frequently rocks, roots and other obstacles. You shouldn't be riding these at any speed while sitting, unless you're being lazy on a full suspension bike. If it's just a flat trail, that's generally considered gravel riding.
