Last I heard, only the first 0.75 miles are open to biking and hiking. The trail was originally built to stop at that distance in. It was designed to provide access to some large free standing rocks t ... |

I went with the oneup 42 tooth gear on my Krampus. It was ride-able without it but long grinds up hills in Mohonk and Minnewaska got kind of old.

All the suggestions made so far are very reasonable. Buying as much power as you can afford is a good idea. 1200 to 2000 lumens is usually enuff to ride as fast as you'd like to, the only problem is a ... |

Not sure I'd call climbing Mountain Rd in that direction a moderate hill. But it is paved, and fairly short, so in that sense it's easy, especially if done on a mountain bike

I find a "Hi, I'd like to pass on your left, if that's alright" ruffles less feathers. Not everybody understands "On your left", especially tourists.
I like a separately striped ... |

One way to deal with problems like this is to teach by example.
When passing pedestrians, don't just yell "On you left" and fly past.
