That's also why it's important that the legal aspects are correctly 
mapped. There's a subset of off-road cyclists who consider that the more 
challenging the terrain, the better. They're quite happy to pick up 
their bike and lift it over a gate or stile, for example. What they need 
from a map is not somebody else's subjective opinion of what's suitable 
for them, what they need is a clear indication of where they can legally 
ride.
