I came across your letter to the International Olympic Committee on
the web, and would like to take the opportunity to express my views
on the matter.Being a mountain biker myself, I was terribly disheartened to see
such a mis-informed person making these rash statements about
mountain biking causing "devastating erosion". As far as I have
seen, this is wildly inaccurate. The mountain bikers in my country
(the UK) take great pride in the countryside that gives them
enjoyment, and look after it very well. The British Cycling
Federation works very closely with the Forestry Commission to make
sure that wildlife is well cared for. In this light, comparing
mountain biking to "open-pit mining" is just downright offensive.
What evidence do you have for your statement that "Many mountain
bikers also lack sportsmanship?" It's completely unfounded.You are the proof. Thank you for confirming that I am right!
Quoted message said:Also, your statement that "one fourth of all of the world's animals
are threatened with extinction" is untrue, unless you can count
extinction as 'the species being great in number' It is a fact of
life that certain animals become extinct whilst others remain, and
it would happen regardless of the sports that people partake in.Thanks for demonstrating your UTTER ignorance of basic biology.
Quoted message said:Have you not thought of the environmental impact that other Olympic
sports have? For, if mountain biking were to have a negative impact
on the environment, then other sports must also have. Take javelin,
for example. Javelins thrusting into the mud at speed must kill
hundreds of small creatures every day. And running - this sport
requires huge tracks to be built over the habitats of wildlife,
which surely has a huge impact on the species that inhabit them. I
could carry on like this all day, and eventually we would have no
Olympics, and a centuries-old tradition would be lost.Good riddance. It is totally obsolete, riddled with drugs,
corruption, and environmental devastation.Quoted message said:Yours sincerely,
Dean Wybrow.
Don't send me any more email. EVER! I added you to my idiot filter,
for obvious reasons.
