ALL of the "studies" were conducted by mountain bikers (none of them bother
to reveal that fact);

yeah, 'cuz those studies by hikers arean't slanted at all!

idiot

Just as Mikey should not be confused with real scientists, he should
also not be confused wtih real hikers.

His version of hiking, essentially walking in a few parks near his
home, has little to do with the sort of hiking most people are doing.
His pronouncements on proper hiking shoes and equipment are just as
much a joke as his pronouncments on proper cycling gear.

Remember that he hates hiking, too, and as soon as he stops the evils
of mountain biking he will move towards banning hiking in any area
where wildlife lives or ever lived.

Happy trails,
