Mountain bikers want the Te Mata Peak Trust to back-pedal on bans stopping them from using five new peak tracks, despite plans for more routes specifically for the cyclists.
The issue has arisen since the formation of the five great walks, which were opened three weeks ago.
Former international adventure racer Tim Wilkins said signs banning mountain bikes were "everywhere," but the tracks should be able to be used by all groups.
Trust chairman Bruno Chambers said, however, that Mr Wilkins and clubs of local mountain-bike riders were aware of "the next step," which he said was to "delineate" mountain-bike tracks and deal with "other issues" that had been raised.
He said the clubs were also aware the trust was putting together a committee of representatives to develop the bike use.
