[SDCBC] Viejas Reservation Closed to Cyclists?

Viejas bans bicyclists from reservation

I am writing to inform the San Diego bicycle community of the Viejas 
Tribal Council's anti-bicyclist attitude. For decades I and other 
cyclists have enjoyed riding through the reservation. That ended 
recently when the Tribal Council banned bicycles from the 
reservation. Apparently, unsafe motorists created a liability for the 
tribe. Rather than enforce its own traffic laws, it punished San 
Diego County cyclists.

The Viejas Tribal Council needs to learn that good community 
relations can't be bought with financial donations alone. More 
important is how it treats human beings and in this case it has 
mistreated San Diego County cyclists.

I guess we are only welcome on the reservation if we are there to spend money.
