Its not just bikes-- we had an incident this weekend where a jogger/runner
came up from behind a group of tail riders working on a map problem and got
a rider dumped. The mounted responder who reported the incident blamed it on
the jogger's lack of common sense when approaching 4-8 horses and riders
stopped on the trail. Of the three incidents that day at least two resulted
from interaction between non-riders and riders. And it was hostile
non-riders in both cases.
If you can't train together you can't work together. Very few areas let
wheeled vehicles and horse commingle, particularly off trail.
