You obviously haven't studied the SCIENCE (REAL science, not the JUNK
science created by mountain bikers). The SCIENCE shows that mountain
bikers have greater impacts on erosion, plants, and animals, partly
because they generally travel several times as FAR and as FAST as
other trail users, multiplying their impacts. (See

Besides that, horses evolved in North America, and hence arguably have
the right to go wherever they want to. BIKES, on the other hand, and
inanimate OBJECTS, and have no rights whatsoever. And there is no
right to mountain bike (see http://mjvande/nfshost.com/mtb10.htm).

Horses were EXTINCT in North America and every single one of them is
foreign.

I agree with you on a philosophic basis, bikes are indeed inanimate and if I
ever see one out on a trail on its own, I'll order it off the trail.
