That says nothing about mountain bikers. That just proves how woefully
limited your experience is, Dr. Vandeman.

It's a shame that you are too ignorant of the facts to see that for
yourself.

Scientific research proved that MOST (83% of) mountain bikers break
the law:http://home.pacbell.net/mjvande/mtb76.

Interesting article. I would be interested to see the results if this
study were replicated today to see if the education efforts have
improved matters over time.

But what does the conclusion that "MOST (83% of) mountain bikers break
the law" have to do with your experience that "ALL mountain bikers are
criminals?"

You left out the rationale for the other 17%.

There's no contradiction. They found 83% criminals, in a single
experiment. I have found 100% in my observations. Either way, mountain
bikers are criminals.

At a rally to protect the Quehanna Wild Area, I observed 3 out 3
environmentalists take Oreo cookies from a plate of cookies that were
reserved for a guest speaker. My observation of the event tells me
100% of environmentalists are criminals.

Of course it was a statistically insignificant observation, due to too
small a sample size. I, on the other hand, have observed thousands of
mountain bikers, including an illegally mountain biking idiot just 2
hours ago.

I have observed thousands of environmentalists, they are all
criminals. Case closed.

I didn't claim there was a contradiction. Where did you "observe"
that? Were those the same "observation" skills you employed to reach
the false conclusion that "ALL mountain bikers are criminals?"

So I repeat, unchallenged, that your "observation" that "ALL mountain
bikers are criminals" says nothing about mountain bikers. That just
proves how woefully limited your experience is, Dr. Vandeman.

However, your revised statement "mountain bikers are criminals" is
duly noted, and I thank you for correcting your error and/or lie.
