There are many aspects to consider when looking for a safe rider. I would like to address one that does not get talked about that much in normal conversation. The most important element to making a safe rider is that he/she knows where to ride based on his skills and riding style. .
The wonderful trail system in Michigan is intended for the family riders and scenic gazing adventurers. These trails offer many places to find services in a relatively close distance. The trails tend to be curvy and narrow and rider should keep speeds down. In the Upper Peninsula, there are a little more challenging trials and trips for the more daring type if rider. The UP ideal fro longer??????? that takes advanced planning and a higher degree of knowledge of the area. The trails tend to be Wider and straighter in general, and speed can be minimally increased (although excessive speed is never acceptable).
The most critical part of safe riding is the riders who like speed. This is dangerous because when they ride the regular trails system they also endanger the other riders. However, there is an ideal place for this type of rider to ride and be much safer, that is on a race course. Amateur snowcross in Michigan is growing faster than ever imaged possible. Getting the people that like the rush of finding their limits onto the racetrack is also making our trail safer for all others riders. Snowcross is a great way to have safe fun on a stock machine in an extreme, yet controlled, environment. Enduro racing in Michigan also???????? for stock type machine for the rider that ???????? that type of racing. .
In both of these cases, trail riding and racing, there is more to being safe than just knowing where to ride, you must also know the rules and regulations of the vicinity that you choose to ride. On a trail, most of the laws are for the safety of humans and animals. If people are educated of these rules and WHY they exist than we will in turn make than a much safer rider.
