In Uppsala we have excellent relationships with hikers, hunters, dog owners, land owners, bird watchers, joggers etc, and we like to maintain good relations, so there are some local ethics. Leave no trace. Bring the garbage that you bring in out also. Be really sweet and friendly to hikers. Stop and and have a chat.
Dogs are probably a greater hazard to mountain bikers than they are to dogs.
Some horses freak out, kick back, dump their riders, etc., when frigthened. So be careful when meeting equestrians. Some routes cross pasture lands. Make sure that you carefully close all gates that you open. Do everything possible to avoid looking like anything even vaguely similiar to a moose in October and early November, unless you like to get shot.
