Bicycle Use Guidelines

Trail Etiquette & Safety on Fiscalini Ranch Preserve

To keep our trails safe and enjoyable for everyone, we ask all visitors to follow these guidelines. Be courteous, responsible, and aware of your impact on nature, the trails, and other users.

Ride only on open trails

  • Bicycles are allowed only on designated trails
  • No bicycles (walked, ridden or carried) on trails marked "No Bicycles."
  • No fully motorized bikes, mopeds, scooters, dirt bikes, or motorcycles (electric or gas-powered). Wheelchairs are always welcome.

Yield to others

  • Bicycles yield to hikers and horses. Hikers yield to horses.
  • Before passing, slow down, ring a bell, or use your voice to announce yourself.
  • When approaching a horse, stop, call out, and ask the rider how to pass safely.

Leave no trace

  • Many rare plants and animals live on the Ranch—help protect them!
  • Stay on existing trails—never create a new one.
  • Avoid muddy trails to prevent damage.

Ride Responsibly.

  • Under 18? California law requires a helmet!
  • Helmets are recommended for everyone.
  • Bike bells are recommended to alert others on the trail.
