<div class=”bbp-reply-content”>Whaaaat?? I’ve always given the right of way to the guy coming down – unless they are going slower than me going up. It makes no sense for the downhill rider to yield. Whomever is going slower should yield. If you are almost at a standstill just stop and get out of the way.
I ran into this issue today. I thought these uphill riders were being turds because they were showing no signs of moving – too focused on getting a strava star or something. So I googled and found this to my surprise. Been mountain biking for almost 20 years around Tahoe and I’ve never had any issues with yielding.
Having the downhiller come skidding to a stop ruins the trail, is way more dangerous and just doesn’t make sense. It sounds like the argument to have the people coming down yield is,”it’s nice of them because the uphill people are suffering.” ¯\_(?)_/¯
There is usually enough room to do a last minute dip o’ the bikes so both riders can fit but it requires a little telapathy. It feels like you’re playing chicken. And someone usually bails out early.”

</div>I disagree with you up hill should have right away because a down hill can stop and get going again if an up hill stops most likely it will be either super hard or impossible to get back going again and he will be walking it up
i tried this once and when i went to take my full face helmet off it yanked the wire out of my head phones and ruined them. needless to say have never even considered doing it again
most iv ever got was cuts or stuff or bruises just every day kinda ride type of stuff
Dont need one have a pickup just put the bike in the bed on its side derailer up and run a strap through the frame and to the tie down point to keep it from sliding around
Seriously you need a bell iv never used one its i just say hey coming through or look out or excuse me much more clear on the message your trying to get across
