Berkeley – CA 6/2/10

Michael Joseph Vandeman was arraigned in court today. He is scheduled
to re-appear in court Thursday with his legal counsel.

Vandeman was arrested by UC Berkeley police last Friday May 28th for
assault with a deadly weapon. The full police report is hehttp://police.berkeley.edu/crimealer...-37NC.htmHewas
reported and arrested for carrying a handsaw and cutting one of the
two bikers across the chest. This is not the first time such an
incidence has been reported.

Local news station KPIX Channel 5 covered the story and it ran in the
local nightly news. Video is available hehttp://cbs5.com/video/?id=65884

The arraignment was at 2pm Wednesday and bail was reduced from $30,000
to $12,500. It is unknown at this time if bail has been posted.
Pending contact with his lawyer, Vandeman is scheduled to reappear in
court Thursday to enter his plea.

Vandeman is a long time anti-mountain biking zealot who has been
infamous in the SF-SJ Bay Area for decades. His campaign against
mountain bikers dates back to the heyday of local cycling internet
newsgroups.

Found guilty on three of six *charges.

Sentenced to 30 days on the Sherriff’s Work Alternative Program
(S.W.A.P.) minus 8 days served in JAIL.

On probation for three years, which includes a “Stay Away” order for
trails in the Claremont Canyon Reserve and the UC Berkeley hiking
trails.

*If you see him on the trail, it will be in violation of his parole.
Report him.

I'm just checking back in (after months), hadn't heard the outcome,
thanks. Sentence sounds appropriate to me, obvious from the postings
here that it had no effect on MV (not surprising). Still, it's best
that a deranged old man like MV wasn't subjected to any more prison
time than he'd served for his illegal actions.

BTW, not sure if anyone saw this, but on p.118 of the July 2011 issue
of "Outside" is an article that states that there has been a 56
percent drop in MTB injuries in the US that required emergency room
treatment from 1995 to 2007 (23,177 vs. 10,267), the lowest on record.
This decrease comes in spite of the fact that some 50 million people
participate in MTB riding each year. The decrease is attributed to
better equipment (e.g. disk brakes and dual suspension) permitting
better control. Didn't see any influence of MV reported as a
contributing factor :-). BTW, the 2007 figure reflects an accident
rate requiring emergency room care of 0.02% per participant per year.

Frankly, I'm shocked, yes, shocked, that MV wasn't on the forefront of
reporting this great news. Perhaps he did see this item, but for some
strange reason, decided not to share it with the group. Since MV has
stated that he's morally and ethically superior to any MTB rider,
you'd think that he would be bound to report on all data on MTB
injuries (since he does this almost constantly), regardless of if it
was positive or negative. Hmm. Food for thought.

What "illegal actions"? ALL of the mountain bikers lied under oath,
except for admitting that they deliberately ride illegally and will
continue riding illegally. You obviously know NOTHING.

That is physically impossible. There aren't enough trails to hold 50
million mountain bikers. You are probably including all the idiots who
are too stupid to buy a ROAD bike to ride on the road. DUH!

That won't help all the people getting killed or maimed almost weekly.
You are responsible for that, due to spreading misinformation. As far
as I can tell, I'm the ONLY one telling the truth about mountain
biking. Mountain bikers HATE anyone telling the truth about their
selfish, destructive, disgusting sport.

One thing that I have little doubt about - this won't be MV's last
time in court, up on charges for attacking MTB riders. Look at how
this expensive, degrading, and humiliating experience had ZERO effect
on him. He'll return to his ways as soon as possible, with inevitable
results.

BTW, it's no wonder MV can't accept the 50 million MTB participants
figure I quoted from the Outside article. It's a complete repudiation
of his attempts to limit the expansion of MTB riding in the US. Why
has he failed? Because MTB riding is a mainstream activity, the same
as hiking, equestrian, and other trail use activities. Real trail
users work together cooperatively so that all can enjoy the outdoors
responsibly, with minimal impact to the environment on a day-to-day
basis. That's a "truth" that MV will never accept - his loss, not
ours.

Adios until the next jury trial.

All we have learned is that all mountain bikers are liars and scoundrels,
rogues and blackguards, assholes and ****heads. But Hells Bells, those of us
with Kulture already knew that.

Outside Magazine is pure trash journalism. Only an idiot like Brad Anders
would read it or give it any credence. They couldn't get a figure right if
their life depended upon it. 50 million indeed!

Mountain biking is for ****heads and assholes and will never be mainstream.
It is on the decline everywhere. Mr. Vandeman performs a real service to
call our attention to all the injuries and deaths caused by one of the
stupidest pastimes ever invented.

Adios until the next jury trial.

**** you too ... Asshole Imbecile!

Sure Mikey, it was all a set-up by evil mountain bikers. I suppose the
police, prosecutor, judge, and all jury members were evil mountain bikers?

Too bad for you the jury thought otherwise.
