Mountain bike trail

Folkestone Academy mountain bike track

“They started waving and smiling”: Fuming residents claim children’s bike track has “ruined living here” and devalued houses – due to kids “peering” into their homes

Conservationists, including Lib Dem councillor Barbara Masters, dig up children’s bike track in Sheffield

“They’re saying bikes and kids aren’t welcome”: Conservationists slammed for “vindictive” destruction of children’s bike track – but councillor says work will stop speeding cyclists and “undo harm” in wood
