forget about banning bikes how about banning motorizeds frst?

[Dreaded]

the vast majority of environmental destruction at least in
the soutwest deserts is from motorized off-road vehicles
(and horses) not from bikes-particularly the fragile topsoil
there. i think we should start there...and adding to that
how about Edward Abbey's great idea for our national parks.
ie Yosemite. put a gate at the front and give everyone a
bike to ride or offer a shuttle to the campground and use
the shuttles for transporting camping gear, food etc. have
the rangers who used to direct traffic drive the shuttles.
and any americanus slobbicus who refuses to leave their
vehicle wouldnt be able to enjoy the scenery. that would do
a lot more to save our wildlands than banning bikes.

You are right dude. ATVs destroy trails, I don't wanna hear people ***** when my 2 inch tires wheel over some dirt. it's better than four big ass tires digging in and spewing it everywhere.

Yes, I always think about the destruction by ATVs when I see
those posts worrying about wide tire bikes.
