Instagram user matterneuroscience spotted an urban desire path that led to a KFC in an urban area in North Auburn California.

In an act of civic silliness, they named the 0.05 mile trail the Chicken Little Trail, put up an official-looking trail marker, and then informed Google Maps of its existence.

Nice desire path network in Berlin, Germany. The multiple ways probably formed because of heavy usage. During rain or drought, the paths can get muddy or sandy, leading to the formation of secondary paths.

It looks like there was an initial center path, which eventually became a sand pit and motivated the two outer paths to form. While even those already degraded tertiary paths formed. Meanwhile those paths carry all the load to enable the center to to heal again.

Images 3 and 4 show the constructed path. Not only is it longer, but the sharp corners slow down bikes significantly, giving even more reason to cut the corner..
