Do Mountain Bikers Have Any Balls?

[Jeff Strickland]

If he stops to look into his backpack for his water bottle, and looks up, he counts the same crowd
that was there again. His concentration level is very low, and he doesn't realize that the hikers he
saw before opening his pack are the same ones that he sees after. So, he counts them twice. Then, if
he goes into the brush to take a leak, and comes back while the same hikers are still there, he
counts them again. In this way, he could easily have encountered "thousands" of them.

This is the same guy who wants hikers to wear only smooth soled shoes instead of boots
with traction.

I doubt that he does any serious hiking outside of his local parks.

well, well. It seems vasectomy has taken most of the attention and I won't even mention it... wops i did it already.

The thing that I see is someone jelous of mountain bikers coz he can't find on pave roads, the fun we got in the wild, and the experince of new places and views just seen by few ppl.
