Walkers and horse riders have complained of being put in danger by cyclists riding down steep gravel tracks at high speeds at a popular New Forest beauty spot.one walker suggested"someone could be killed" if cyclists continue to descend the incline rather than dismounting to walk as signs ask.
"It's really scary when you are walking along and suddenly a bike is hurtling towards you. I fear someone could be killed by either being knocked over, or a cyclist coming to grief." "We had the horses in front of us and the cyclists rode up really fast towards them. The horses were spooked then, to make it worse, the bike riders started shouting and waving their arms around.The bridge has been closed for five years, with Forestry England saying it is"beyond repair and needs to be demolished".
On the social media post sharing photos of the rider's bruising, a mother said she does not walk with her toddler there anymore having been scared off.
