Who has right of way, cyclists, horse riders, or walkers?
By law cyclists must give way to other bridleway users, but generally people are quite happy to stand aside to let bikes pass if asked nicely. Cyclists, please shout hello when coming up from behind, especially if approaching horses which might bolt otherwise. On the whole all the different non motorised users get along very well, and add interest to the Trail. • If you are an otherwise fit person but with mobility problems the South Downs Way can be a great adventure. The Trail as a whole is not suitable for people who are frail, however it is not specially surfaced for wheelchairs and so can be rough and/or steep in places. Youll need a suitable electric cross-country buggy such as a Tramper. You, or a companion, must be able to walk short distances to open and close gates. You are strongly advised not to go alone if you have mobility problems (two or more Trampers together would be OK).
