Although some grumpy people make themselves look unintelligent. You boys did exactly the same with your gestures and language. As a motorcyclist myself, riding sportbikes and ADV's... while you were as respectful as possible during the debate. You let yourselves down recording your insults at the end. Enjoy the byways lads

You can explain how things work to some people, but you can't understand it for them. Nice work mate.

[@dumbleduke4225]

You know what, I wish I had this level of constraint and ability to remain calm when someone is going out of their way to be a pain in the arse. I recently bought an off road bike and there are so few places to go, nice to see you enjoying what’s left of the few roads. Going to have to join this trf!

[@iangrimshaw1]

Just a couple of tips. Don't call it an 'off-road' bike especially when talking to none bikers; try, "trail bike". And join the TRF! Best thing you can do to find and enjoy trails and help keep them open. Enjoy

[@colinunderwood2095]

Shared this with my friends the other day, seems they're all commenting now! This was great by the way, a real sore spot for me now that all the rambling nazi's are getting the lanes closed off all over Cumbria. I can't even off-road in my own home county now because of self-righteous tourists.

[@KTMAngryDragon]

So use the other 95% of brideways and designated footpaths in the uk that are prohibited for motorised vehicles, bicycles even in some cases and horses. There are hardly any of these tracks left in the UK and all because of miserable, selfish misery old gits like you who clearly think that the remaining 2% of greenlanes and 3% of shared tracks is clearly too much for your entitled self.

I totally agree with you as a rider myself , but when you finally departed from the walker you should have started off slower. Also not a good idea to slag her off after, especially when you are posting a video. You nearly had it right lads ..........

[@nickg2431]

Over in Greece its an off road bikers paradise,as long as you dont have a loud exhaust,slow down for animals and be polite and respectful.I have mostly only ever been greeted with waves and curiosity on public land.Most greeks ask me in greek"what are you doing here" expressing genuine suprise why anyone would want to go there.When i tell them that the greek countryside is the best most beautiful place on earth(imho) they are usually happy and proud.Many have friends with restaurants and cafes that i eat and drink in.Some private farmers let me ride across their land.

The most accurate comment on here, it started so well with the spoken debate, but quickly lost it with aggressive acceleration,raucous noise, insults, finger gestures, ...against an old lady, nice one! I'd be embarrassed to be a part of that, I'm keeping my exhaust stock just to be more respectful and humble on byways and trails, Slow down to a trickle, smile and put hand up or nod, all have appreciated that and let us pass quietly without issue, I for one am grateful we've been granted the privilege, let's try and keep it!.. 🙏

[@thra5herxb12s]

That's pretty much spot on. There are thousands of miles of footpaths and they chose to walk on a byway that is open to all traffic.

[@Tvishaify]

Je suis cavalière, motarde et randonneuse et je comprends totalement le point de vue de ce monsieur qui veut se balader au calme et en sécurité. Quand on marche dans la nature, on a envie de calme, pas de se sentir agresser par des excités qui foncent en mode mad max avec des pots full bordel. Le cross et l'enduro devraient être cantonnés uniquement sur les terrains dédiés à cet usage. Ce n'est pas une pratique "nature" comme le VTT ou l'équitation ou la marche...etc.... C'est une pratique bruyante et fort polluante. C'est peut être autorisé mais ce n'est pas normal de mettre ainsi en danger des randonneurs à devoir côtoyer des véhicules roulants souvent très fort comme si ils étaient seuls au monde sur la piste. Et je comprends également les habitants de villages de montagnes excédés par nos passages répétés et bruyants en groupe quand les cols rouvrent en été. C'est autorisé. Pour l'instant.... Mais viendra un moment où la nuisance occasionnée finira par être interdite ou fortement contrôlée avec des quotas. Et oui nous sommes trop nombreux sur cette planète à nous marcher dessus... Les gens qui sont en campagne y sont pour le calme et la tranquillité. Forcément que nos sports mécaniques bruyants les dérangent.

Wow things are different over there.. I am in northern Ontario Canada we have hundreds of thousands of old logging roads that for the most part are all,open to any vehicle. I know one set of road that you can to over 200 k on gravel from town to town with at least 100 road going off that. The only unwritten rule is the logging truck have right of way even if the are on the wrong side of the road. Some roads are maintained but most are abandoned.

[@brucegibson7478]

I can't remember ever seeing a sign like that on any of the dirt tracks I have used for walking or riding a motorbike, we used to get loads of complaints for riding off-road on the old pit heaps and woods and the rubbish tip land and gravel works when I was young, the best bit is it keeps teenagers out of trouble when they are repairing and riding motorbikes and nobody heard us after we were out of the village and onto the rough ground but they still phoned the police.

[@danjames4086]

I hike, mountain bike, kayak, cycle....and used to do a bit of green laning. I have often encountered this same attitude. You're comments about sharing are bang on...there's plenty of room for everyone.

I'm with the biker , I've just started green lane riding and the levels you have to go to to find the right byway that's out the way, and you'll get a dog walker or someone like this lady whom has anywhere and everywhere to walk butvtheu choose the very few places we have .In fact, the place we found was crap to walk , wet , muddy , slippery , why you'd pick that if not only to moan .

[@alanlegg9972]

Oh man why did you make yourself look an idiot at the end

[@RichardS-qh8mi]

Excellent - sick of the righteous brigade trying to to have everything their own way all the time. As was pointed out it’s about sharing these bye-ways not monopolising them solely for your benefit, as by definition they’re public spaces. She needs to find a footpath and stick to it if encountering the odd trail rider is not to her liking.

[@silverdale3207]

Considering it's banned to 3 wheel plus vehicles it is a very well worn 4 wheel vehicle track, looks like there's plenty of traffic down there.

[@karlnorman2427]

The lane has tyre tracks separated by green grass, thus indicating its well used prob by 4x4s. Should have pointed that out too. Any thick bastard with more than one eye could spot that.

[@davescopes249]

I used to get this crap so often when I used to go green laning on my quad. I found that the best way to deal with it if you can is totally ignore them. Unless it's the one's that lash out at you. Always best to record. 👍

Pedestrians are allowed to walk on almost any public road in the countryside, and, at least in my experience, no one ever complains about it, despite the inconvenience that it can cause to motorists, but when motorists try to use one of the few byways that are open to them, they inevitably have to deal with this sort of thing.

[@robertlang3624]

I can see both sides of argument, there are limited opportunities for bikers to go off road and on paths like that one where bikes are allowed I personally would stay clear.
