One of my children used this trail to bike to work last summer and had a very bad bicycle accident on the trail due to the knotweed! It caught in her bicycle and knocked her over; she was injured and is permanently scarred as a result. That same night our family went and spent an hour or so trimming all the knotweed back ourselves last July. Obviously it's time to do so again ....

Closing this. WVRA staff cut this back a few weeks ago. Please repost if and when it gets bad again.
