The organizers called it a "Trutzpartie". We would call it a protest march. In compliance with the current law, around 100 mountain bikers (according to the organizers) recently pushed their bikes to the no-entry sign at Wengernwald, municipality of Kuchl, province of Salzburg in Austria. The forest path is the only access in the municipality to the only legal mountain bike route in the area.
Mind you, this is not a single trail but a wide forest road, which is occasionally even used by trucks riding to deliver supplies to a mountain restaurant. According to the mountain bikers, "some of the more than 20 landowners" are opposed to allowing mountain bikers to use the forest road. Neither the attempts at mediation by the mayor of Kuchl nor employees of the provincial governor (in Switzerland this would be the president of the government council) were able to change their minds.
The law is on the side of those who don't want bikers in the forest: The public does have a right to exercise in the forest for the purpose of recreation. However, according to the current interpretation of the law, cycling is not a recreational activity.

"Politicians are still resigned to their own laws, which were created a very long time ago, even before mountain bikes existed, and that's exactly what we want to change! Mountain biking should be legal in Austria," explains David Schäffler, dipolomized mountain bike guide from Kuchl, and continues: "Where forestry machines, tractors and trucks ride, cyclists can't be a problem! We don't want to 'dispossess' anyone, we just don't want to be excluded by law!"
Austria presents itself in an advertising campaign as a bike country, "You like it - bike it!" is the associated slogan. The association upmove, which is campaigning for the law to be changed, believes this is a mockery in view of the blanket ban on bikes on forestry and hiking trails. Strictly speaking, the slogan is an invitation to break the law. For us Swiss mountain bikers, the situation in our neighboring country shows how comparatively good it is here. So let's make sure that the fronts don't harden!
