I encourage State and National Parks to restrict foot paths to foot traffic only, with a shoot on sight allowance against violators (wheelchairs excepted). I equally encourage the park, if it so desires, to have a bicycle path for the bicyclists.

This is an ongoing discussion/battle with some fairly ugly incidents on all sides. Including hikers booby trapping trails with nails and garrote wire designed to deter bicyclists.
There are generally three groups of non-motorized enthusiasts:
hikers
bicyclist
equestrians
Typically the bicyclists get the most restrictions but usually due to lack of political clout relative to the other two groups. Oddly enough people from all three groups pay taxes that go towards supporting the areas.
