Why People Mountain Bike: "the adventure of the ride is what gets my juices flowing"

Not strange. DESTRUCTIVE. But a bike and rider may be less destructive than a horse and rider. Not according to the science. But it's irrelevant in any case. If it's DESTRUCTIVE, there's no good reason to allow it. You can always find something more harmful, but that proves nothing.

Your OPINION of off-road cycling is not a determining factor for a "good reason". Your OPINION is not a valid filter for determining the science. Laters, |

If it's DESTRUCTIVE, there's no good reason to allow it. You can always find something more harmful, but that proves nothing. So you are saying hiking should be banned as well ? After all, hikers require trails that destroy vegation and animal habitat, that is according to you. And hiking boots tear up the ground as well, even if it less than mountain bikes.
