I read what you wrote. Horses were extinct in North America until introduced
some 500 years ago. Now if you want to argue that they were re-introduced,
you could, but you'd have to explain the differences between the fossil
record and the horses that are out there now. Shall we release some wolves
into England and tell the locals it's okay, they belong there.

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.


There is no right to bring a bike onto a trail.


Why ever do you say such a silly thing. I have every right to ride the
trails.

That's being done in the US.

And beavers have been reintroduced in Scotland, after being gone
hundreds of years.

Why? We just returned something that should never have been killed in
the first place.

Yes, of course.

BS. There is no "right" to mountain bike. That was settled by a
federal court in 1994: http://mjvande.nfshost.com/mtb10.htm.

You may have meant that as hyperbole.

Assholes did exactly that to us in Wisconsin. Really.

People from Chicago released wolves in Wisconsin?

Of course we should. It could be pretty entertaining. Quite how
gruesomely entertaining, you can read in my short story "The
Survivor". Don't get it from Amazon; you have to pay on Amazon. Get it
from Smashwords free of charge
http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/72627

Come to think of it, another free short, in "Two Shorts"
http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/73667
has a hi-fi connection...
