Here's an example of what happens after motor vehicles are banned:

You can see from the above how the trail surface, and so the riding experience has changed on certain sections of the Ridgeway. You can also see how the motor vehicles kept it from getting overgrown.
Now, without maintenance, tree saplings and brambles would quickly take root and if left unchecked would eventually make the trail impossible to ride. You can see why letting vehicles use it in the summer could be a good compromise?
