Hiya,
Getting my first MTB saturday.
Looking mainly to ride a lot of the new forest to keep fit (aswell as actual mountains at some point)
reading a lot on council websites that up to 500 quid fines can be given for not riding on the proper paths.
Who actually gives these out? has anyone ever in the history of man actually ever received a fine?
Not saying I'm deliberately gonna go tear up some shrubbery, but at the same time paying attention to what little coloured sign that fence post has on it is the last of my worries.
Am I getting worried over an empty threat?
