Bicyclists or motorcyclists?
Bicyclists.
Very confusing, Biking or Hiking ?
“The three were biking in the area, according to the person who reported them missing but they may also have been hiking, too.” I have not talked to them but it seems possible to go for a bike ride to an area, then leave your bike and hike for awhile.
