A west Belfast resident has said the regular use of scramblers in the local area meant "somebody was always going to be killed".
Valerie Armstrong (35) from Poleglass died late on Thursday following a collision with a motorbike in Colin Glen forest park on Tuesday evening.
Speaking yesterday Colm Silcock said scramblers were a problem in the area.
"This place is crazy for motorbikes," he said.
Mr Silcock, who lives in Colinbrook Green, said it was only a matter of time before someone was killed due to one of these machines and noted that pensioner was struck by one in the local area a few years ago.
"He's an elderly man and now walks with a walking stick. He's still not right," he said.
"Somebody was always going to be killed," he added.
A local resident who walks Colin Glen park every day said it was "lucky" a death on the stretch had not happened sooner.
"You would see a lot of scramblers and quads in the park, but it will settle now and then come back again in a couple of months," he said.
Sinn Féin west Belfast MLA Jennifer McCann said there was a clear need to address the problem of scrambler use and said she would be meeting with the PSNI and the Justice Minister to discuss the current legislation and enforcement.
"I will also be meeting with the Minister for Infrastructure to discuss the need for an awareness campaign in relation to the dangers scramblers and quads present when used outside of designated places established for their use," she added.
The Irish News understands police were contacted within the past month by members of staff at the Colin Glen Trust over concerns that scramblers were being driven illegally in the park.
PSNI Superintendent Melanie Jones has said police "will take action to curb the nuisance and dangers associated with the use of off-road scramblers and quads in public areas".
