Why is biking not permitted in Hitchcock Woods?
Part of the mission of the Foundation is to uphold “historic and traditional equestrian and pedestrian uses” of the Woods. While equestrians and pedestrians may comfortably share the Woods, precautions are necessary to keep everyone safe. Horses have limited vision and can be easily startled by the speed at which a bicycler may appear, or by the unfamiliar bicycle itself. It is for the safety of all that biking is not a part of the Woods experience.
