What is a fire road bike trail? |
What is a fire road bike trail? It is a trail used by the fire department to put out fires and get around the mountain quickly. Mountain bikers like to use it because of its wide "paved" qualities. Fire roads are the opposite of single track, which is a very narrow trail that can only fit one biker. They aren't necessarily paved in all instances. Fire roads are primitive forest service roads through the woods that exist to allow access for vehicles in the event of a forest fire. They aren't "preferred", by any means. They are typically graveled roads although they are sometimes natural rock, dirt, or possibly an old paved road that isn't in normal use anymore. Most are fairly rough, you don't have anything to weave in and out of, they don't have many obstacles, and have no "flow" at all, so they're not the most fun thing out there but the forest service maintains them and they often lead to cool places or connect patches of singletrack, so they are still ridden quite regularly. usually a wide (car width) dirt/gravel road/path this is fast and fun to ride your mountian/cross bike on. sometimes the path looks like two singletracks where the wheels of the car roll over, and the center is grassy or rocky. have fun! |
