When there's no snow I ride the trails nearly every day. In the winter I ski them, but not as much. In 20 years I've had one incident and that was near Rocket Park (Valley of the Moon Park), which I consider the only place on the trails that's consistently dangerous. The drinkers who inhabit the homeless camps are pretty harmless, but the camps are a place real psychos can find safe harbor. That's why the city should stop the practice. Because of increased housing density along the Campbell Creek trail there are some undesirables hanging around. There's also a lot of loose dogs. The only way I've changed my habits is I'm more intent on scrutinizing each person I encounter. First thing I look to see what they've got in their hands. A cyclist was attacked by punks who hit him with a board near East High. So I watch for that sort of thing. I don't understand people who wear ear buds or stare at their phone while on the trails. I guess that's how the herd gets thinned.
