"There is a growing expectation for more local mountain biking sites," says Carlow's local authority.
The issue came up during a report to members of Carlow Municipal District in December on the Council's "Outdoor Recreation Strategy".

Road safety concerns has led to an apparent increase in demand for "safe spaces" such as off-road cycling and gravel cycling along forest roads, in urban areas and green areas.
The report added: "There is also a need to connect communities with outdoor recreation venues safely, via cycling tracks."
