Pt. Reyes National Seashore has updated their bicycle policy to add restrictions on electric motorized bicycles (e-bikes). The rules are posted on their website as follows:
Electric and motorized bicycles are prohibited (on trails).
Only human-powered bicycles are allowed on park trails where bicycles are permitted (list of trails where bicycles are allows are listed on the website). Electric and motorized bicycles are prohibited on all park trails, but are permitted on any road which is open to the public to drive their automobiles.
Yield to all other Users
Horseback riders have right-of-way on the trails with hikers coming second. Bicyclists must yield to both of these trail user groups. Be aware that many horses are easily spooked when approached from behind. Reduce your speed when approaching horses or hikers. When approaching from behind, announce your presence. Stop on the downhill side of the trail while horses pass. The speed limit on all trails, even when headed downhill, is 15 mph. Be courteous. If trails are dry and dusty, slow down even more so as not to leave hikers in a cloud of dust.

Even though it is out of our reporting area, Mother Lode Trails reports on Pt. Reyes NS because so many of our area's trail users travel to the coast in the summer for hiking, biking and horse back riding.
