"Developing the Conscientious Mountain Biker"

[Mike Vandeman]

I was wondering where they would find "leaders in environmental
advocacy", since all of the speakers are mountain biking advocates,
NOT environmental advocates. I have yet to hear any of them advocate
protection of the environment. HAVE YOU? On the contrary, they all
advocate destroying more habitat to build mountain more biking trails.

Well, maybe they should have told the truth, because I understand that
exactly ONE person from the entire San Francisco Bay Area, other than
the speakers, showed up to learn how to be a conscientious mountain
biker, from people who themselves aren't conscientious mountain
bikers. OF COURSE. Obviously, mountain bikers (including the speakers)
aren't really interested in learning how to be conscientious. So maybe
they should stop pretending!

Developing the Conscientious Mountain Biker is a panel discussion
using positive role models to educate new cyclists into becoming
contributing members of the community in a safe, healthy, and
environmentally-friendly manner. Our panelists will include
historical leaders in the sport and environmental advocacy, and extra
effort will be made to be inclusive of women and youth for our
audience. Bring your questions for Jim Hasenauer (IMBA), Matt
Fritzinger (NorCal HS MTB League), Colleen Wanty (LunaChix), Marc
Rossi (Jamis Bicycles), and Jacquie Phelan (WOMBATS). From 5-8pm
Sports Basement (in the Presidio) will be providing drinks and snacks
and a great 15% off on the night with 5% of related sales going to the
Breast Cancer Fund. More info: http://www.sportsbasement.com

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.)

Please don't put a cell phone next to any part of your body that you are fond of!

They should have just asked ME to speak to them. More mountain bikers
would like to hear me, than want to hear these famous mountain bikers
speak!

The bottom line is that mountain bikers just don't want to hear
anything about protecting the environment! They just want to be free
to do whatever they want. In other words, they are INFANTS.

That's funny. Did you mean to directly contradict yourself in two
statements immediately following one another?

And did you learn much? Oh, wait, you said *person*. As you were,

Or they could just stick their heads in a sewer, that would have the
same effect and be over quicker.

There's no contradiction. Think a little.
