In my experience, it is ALL mountain bikers that are selfish, arrogant, and
stupid.

Thanks, Mike; once again the selfishness, arrogance, and stupidity of some
mt. bikers is being displayed. CB

If you are going to forge your own fan mail it might help if you didn't use
your own style of prose.

Don't assume that others are as dishonest as mountain bikers. I don't need to
forge anything. The truth is quite adequate to condemn your selfish, destructive
sport.

probably true. but then, those same generalizations were used by Hitler
against the Jews, by many Americans against the African Americans and
countless other groups who thought, incorrectly, that an entire group of
people could be characterized so simplistically. Then again, it just shows
the shortsightedness of your attitudes and total inability to realize that
those who mountain bike are no different than those that hike, swim, run,
cook, sew, play football, or jerk off excessively every day. AS a group,
they represent an entire cross section of society and cannot in any way be
characterized by one or two words that by their use serve your myopic view
of the group in question.

Oh, right. If Hitler said something, that vitiates those words for all time to
come. Right. Idiot.

by many Americans against the African Americans and
..countless other groups who thought, incorrectly, that an entire group of
..people could be characterized so simplistically.

I have observed THOUSANDS of mountain bikers in person and on the 'net. I have
yet to meet even ONE who is honest. That is just a fact.

Then again, it just shows
..the shortsightedness of your attitudes and total inability to realize that
..those who mountain bike are no different than those that hike, swim, run,
..cook, sew, play football, or jerk off excessively every day.

How would you know? Have you done a study? I doubt it. In fact, people who
engage in a partcular activity ARE different. People who mountain bike are just
not THE SAME AS THOSE WHO spend their time trying to save wildlife. To say that
they are is dishonest (nothing new, for mountain bikers). There is a REASON that
mountain bikers are so honest: if they had to tell the truth, they would no
longer be able to practice such a destructive sport.

AS a group,
..they represent an entire cross section of society and cannot in any way be
..characterized by one or two words that by their use serve your myopic view
..of the group in question.

I have enough data to say that you are absolutely wrong. For example, I have yet
to meet one who is honest about mountain biking. And you are no exception! You
are just as dishonest as all the rest.

that's not data, that's simply your incorrect impression and opinion.

show actual data. give me facts. show me studies. you can't because

they
don't exist and even if they did exist they could so easily be proven

wrong.
you should know that. you had to actually perform primary reserach for

your
dissertation didn't you? You know, something that you published to peers
and those peers actually reviewed you on your methods?

if you tried to publish any kind of study supporting your deranged ideas
about bikers you'd be laughed out of any organization that chooses to
actually acknowledge your "credentials" because you continously violate so
many of the basic principles of testing.

Hey Dr. Dipsh!t,

I came across this quote you allegedly made in an article. perhaps you
should think about it next time you start spewing facts about how your
observations constitute scientific fact.

Having earned a Ph.D., I know that doing valid research is expensive and
difficult. However, it is the only way we know of to arrive at reliable
knowledge.

Michael

Reliable knowledge starts with HONESTY, something mountain bikers have NONE of.
You guys apparently think you can't defend your selfish, destructive sport
unless you LIE. I have demonstrated that over & over.

People who ride bikes should be

1. Licensed
2. Registered
3. Insured

They ride on the road and can cause accidents. Can ANYONE tell me a
good reason why they shouldn't be treated like everyone else???
