We have a high-quality MUP system with a state park trail that spans the state and lots of trails in and around town that are rather tame and very well used. I quit road riding thirty years ago when these trails emerged to avoid the inherent danger of cycling near cars. Haven’t really done any single track riding. Seems more likely to cause serious injury which I try to avoid.
