A forest owned by the forestry commission can have Mountain-bike trails built on

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

That mountain bikers should be able to build trails freely as long as they do not interfere with other paths and bridle ways.
So less children will be playing on streets and learning how to mountain bike and play outside. As well, this will teach them how to construct structures.
