The fact is that both activities can be dangerous. I prefer to concentrate on the environmental aspects of activities, and everyone agrees that mountain biking is no more damaging to the environment than hiking. You know that's a bald-faced lie. Not according to the agencies that have access to the REAL information (not your version of it) and have the REAL scientists and advocates in charge of reviewing that information. They have made the decisions and the rules. And it has been established by REAL environmental scientists and advocates that cycling and hiking are indeed similar enough for shared access in most instances of multi-use forest and park lands. The bald-faced lie is obviously outlined in your OPINIONS. |

QED. === I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8 years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)

QED. Everyone that has a brain and access to the actual research and not your perverted "reviews" and versions of it agrees. Everyone that matters (decision and rule makers) agree. Practically everyone except you.... Since you have not (and the requests have been many) provided any other environmental researcher or scientist to specifically endorse your extreme opinions concerning your views of off-road cycling, the use of the word "practically" is a mere courtesy. |
