CAPTION: California motorcyclist Steve Wenglein takes a breather on an off-road trail in the Tahoe National Forest. The national nonprofit Tread Lightly! has issued ten tips to minimize environmental impact when riding motorcycles on any public land.
STREAMS: Cross streams where the trail crosses the stream at a 90 degree angle.
BRAIDING: Ride single file in the middle of the trail to avoid widening or braiding the trail.
OBSTACLES: Drive over, not around, obstacles such as small rocks and logs to avoid widening the trail.
