Absolutely not. There are strict rules governing riding on each others trails. Its the Office of Greenways and Trails intention to keep the outdoor experience along the greenways as peaceful and devoid of conflict as possible. Mountain bike trails are marked with OMBAs yellow, blue or red fiberglass trail markers. Florida Trails hiking trails have the FT signs, and they usually use blue or white paint on trees to mark their trails. Equestrians usually use white or blue diamond shaped markers attached to trees. NOTE: there is a $100 fine for any user-type traveling on another user-type trail. This is especially important for cyclists and equestrians, with the obvious possibility for conflict as a result of horse hove damage to the trail surface.
