Religious fanaticism is the cause of many of the worlds problems. You
are right there with them.

BS. Mountain bikers like to ride in natural areas, i.e., wildlife
habitat.


Yes, many of the fire trails I mountain bike on are surrounded by
nature. That is typical of fire trail location.

Bike tires ALWAYS create V-shaped ruts. Sometimes faster,
sometimes slower.


You are full of BS. Any indent depends on the surface being ridden on.
A hard gravel surface leaves little if any detectable indent, let
alone a rut.

You are talking about stuff that mountain bikers neither understand
nor care about.


You have generalised in every post to the point of insanity. No wonder
people don't take you seriously. You are the laughing stock.

BS. Mountain biking is INHERENTLY irresponsible.


People enjoying the bush on a bicycle is no more irresponsible than your
false religious propaganda.

And your use of capitalisation is both rude and ignorant.

No one in their right mind wants to encounter a bike in the woods.


And neither do they want to encounter you.

If
we wanted to be around bikes & other big, fast-moving pieces of
MACHINERY, we would stay in the ciity! DUH!


Most sane, sensible and reasonable folks, do not lump bicycles with "big
fast-moving pieces of MACHINERY."

You are obviously neither sane, nor sensible nor reasonable.

You are right. So don't allow bikes off-road. QED


Corrected - Feel sorry for Mike V., who is obviously delusional and in
need of mental care and possibly a straight jacket.

Mikey V. is so delusional, he will not admit to being on probation.

I hate it when, while fly fishing in apparent seclusion, some garish and loud
group of white water thrill seekers goes floating past. The fish dart for cover
too.

Too bad I don't own the river.


Just as well you miserable arse. Why should others not enjoy the beauty
too.

Since all the experts agree that mountain bicycling is no more damaging
to trails or wildlife than hiking, there is no reason to have such
limits on mountain biking in national parks.


"Experts" other than Mikey, you mean?


Yes, I'm referring to those that have done a scientific analysis of the
impact of each type of trail user. That explicitly excludes our favorite
troll.

LOL, the quiet kayakers also disturb the fish.

I would like to see a lot of access restricted to "under your own power"
types of recreation. No power boats. No snowmobiles. No horses.

Certainly do. Even those pesky cormorants! I should take a shot gun
when I go fishing. Sink a few kayaks and drop a few cormorants ;-) Oh
but the paperwork and clean up afterwards would be a prick.

Hell, it's annoying to catch up to another fisherman. I strive to fish
the most inaccessible places possible. Virgin fish are so much more fun.

Interesting. Bicycles are obviously accepted.

BS. The physics is the same. It just takes longer to show a rut.

You are talking about stuff that mountain bikers neither understand
nor care about.

Only a mountain biker would say that.

The science says otherwise.

It's simple emphasis, netnews nazi.

They do if they are HONEST, because that's exactly what bikes are. I
have yet to meet even ONE mountain biker who could tell the truth.
