“…We find that trails spots begin to thicken discourses on participation in the commons, whereby the spirit of building on or reclaiming land for a 'publics' use (which in the past may have come from a politically motivated group concerned with subsistence, e.g. the Diggers [26]) is simultaneously one of appropriation and enclosure for a public concerned with play and fun. 5 In which case, these spaces represent a conceptual thorn in that they are not 'enclosed' or made private by the construction of walls or fences, but they are not quite the opposite -a commons that is open to and equally accessible to everyone.…”

This paper details early findings from our exploratory research on bike trails and the people who build, care for, and use them. The paper contributes to understandings of participation in punk and DIY cultures by engaging with a context outside the traditional realms of PD to learn about existing forms of (non-)participation. We outline three themes from the initial field work: First, the kinds of participation involved in designing and building the trails, including non-participation of those outside the community. We engage with the problems of participation in a DIY (un)commons that is often illegal and therefore fragile. Second, we look to grassroots moves to increase participation in these spaces and the reasons for doing so. Finally, we speculate on an aim to develop a symmetry, whereby academic attention to these spaces and practices may contribute to the community rather than only extract information.
