I just stumbled upon a great article from www.treadlightly.org about mountain biking trail etiquette.  The article is titled "Quick Tips for Responsible Mountain Biking" and goes into great detail about how to behave on the trail.  It is a must read for beginners and seasoned mountain bikers alike; we can all use a little reminder of both the spoken and unspoken rules of mountain biking.  Among the tips are the following that I feel are most important:

• Avoid locking your wheels when descending as this destroys trails
• Yield the right of way to people who are going uphill
• Don't listen to headphones while riding - you won't hear other riders on the trail...

For many other great tips, take a look at the full article here.
