    Put a digital camera on a trail closed to bicycles but used illegally by
    mountain bikers. Put their photos on the web & send them to law enforcement.

    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.)

    Or put a camera on a trail closed to everyone and catch the hikers. Or
    (which might actually produce something of genuine benefit to the
    habitat in question) put up a camera and catch fly-tippers and those
    illegally disposing of industrial waste, an issue which (unlike
    mountain biking) is considered a genuine concern by wilderness
    protection agencies.

    Or put a camera outside the house of Mike Vandeman the trolling
    paranoid evasive lazy lying hypocritical habitat-destroying
    crapflooding bigot. No special reason, it would just [censored] him off :-)

    Explore the rise in lightweight materials, suspension and shifting systems
    on bicycles and the use of this bicycle technology to explore and learn
    about wildlife without burning fossil fuels. The technology of the modern
    mountain bike fits like a glove to this group's goals and research.

    THIS cracked me up. My mind's eye is having a blast with it.
