Yosemite muni ?

Hey,

Call to all californian riders : is it possible to ride in Yosemite park ?
I’ll be around there late September and it would be real nice to explore
that amazing park on a uni. Some friend of mine told me it wouldnt be
allowed, so I’m wondering.

Oli-

Cycling is allowed, though only on the most boring surfaces. You can rent
a bike in the Yosemite Valley, and ride it around on the paved roads and
bike paths, though I’m pretty sure there isn’t anything open to bikes that
we would consider “MUni.”

Here are some quotes from a site I found by doing a search on Google:

Bikes are allowed only on paved bikeways and roads open to
private vehicles.
For safety and environmental reasons, National Park Service regulations
prohibit riding bikes off public roads and bikeways. All bikes are
prohibited from pedestrian and hiking trails, such as the trail to Lower
Yosemite Falls. This came from:
http://compugraph.com/yosemite/activities/bike.html

[For those of you thinking how a unicycle is not a bike, I highly
recommend you don’t try proving this in our national parks, and making the
rest of us unicyclists look bad]

So bring the unicycle, but don’t expect your exciting MUni to happen
there. For better results, depending on the nature of your trip, check out
Brett Bymaster’s Trail Page, which has details of all sorts of rides. Most
of these are well north of Yosemite, but you may be able to try one:

Hi Oli, Unfortunately you can’t ride a unicycle other than on the roads in
Yosemite. The reason is that it is a National Park. A pity, because there
is obviously would be a near-infinite amount of world-class trials and
trail riding there!
