I just tell the truth. And will continue to do so. ALL good people
hate the destruction of nature. It is the only proper response to
illegal tree-felling, illegal trail construction, and illegal
structure-building.

I have seen your illegally built trails, illegally cut trees, and
illegally built structures first hand. You aren't fooling anyone.

> We have many trails used regularly by hikers and mtn bikers with no erosion. If anything, the plants take back the trails in a very short time if not used by trail users. We don't need your negative comments here sir. Mountain bikes and mountain bikers are not the enemy,


They are the enemy of wildlife and hikers and equestrians. They drive
out wildlife and all other trail users.

>especially compared to other means of transportation. Perhaps you should refocus your attacks on the internal combustion engine, or perhaps your US military. They seem to be creating a lot more erosion and plant/animal death than all mountain bike/bikers combined.

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.)
