The high cost of mountain biking!
Can you imagine the stupidity of anyone crazy enough to spend thousands of
dollars on a bike just to be able to ride single track trails when you can walk them for free. If you can, then join the club of ultimate Assholes - Mountain Bikers! Not only do they spend this kind of money, but they also manage to injure and kill themselves doing it. It is the ultimate Jackassery! Further, can you imagine spending $9000 and then having no good place to ride it? (psychologists call that "Cognitive Dissonance"). That's why mountain bikers are always beating the bushes to find or make new trails which is a criminal activity. I say not only death to mountain biking, but death to mountain bikers themselves. I rejoice when I hear of their mishaps - which prove to be on unending stream of reports in the media.

Can’t walk? Ed Dolan the Great – Minnesota Ah, welcome back Eddy, we've missed you and, while it may be old age, we'd completely forgotten about a bicycle having wheels. Thank you for remind us. It certainly is embarrassing to be a cyclist and forget about the wheels. I did delete your pretentious posting of the cost of those demon mountain bikes, but I'm afraid that you missed some important costs. You see, I did a little research and have discovered that the "hikers" are also paying large sums of money to equip themselves for their arduous trips From what I read, the basic equipment for the serious hiker is some $1241.00. Just to take a walk in the woods. This itemized list shows the following: Hiking boots Saloman - $240 Pole Leki carbon fiber - $200 "The Leki Carbon Ti is a sweet lightweight pole that features the most comfortable foam grip in our review." Hat - Tilley LTM6 Airflo Hat - $84.00 Jacket - THERMOBALL\u2122 JACKET - $220 Shirt - MEN\u2019S EXPLORE FLEECE CREW Shirt - $40.00 Pack - Osprey Atmos 65 AG Pack - $259.95 Pants - Arc'teryx Gamma LT - $179 Socks - Lorpen PrimaLoft Midweight Hiker Crew Sock - $22 Underwear - Both men's and women's Note: being a polite gentleman I did not feel it necessary to investigate these intimate items of apparel but I did notice that they come in both male and female versions and some of them have "anti-chafe" properties. It is interesting that while the modern hiker requires some $1,241 to outfit himself for a walk in the woods The initial request for funding the Lewis and Clark expedition that hiked over half way across the entire U.S. was $2,500. I thought the description of the $200 hiking with the comfortable foam grip, was particularly revealing. One can only assume that the modern "hiker" is a rather effete individual with soft hands. Can you imagine if one gets a blister on his/her finger? "Oh, Quick! Call 911 and get me a helicopter ambulance to the hospital". Another item of interest is "how do these hikers get to the forest? Well being "trekkers" one would assume that they would walk, but apparently they don't as every forest or park seems to have a large parking lot. Strangely it appears that modern "trekkers" don't actually trek. It is apparent that the modern "Trekker" is a soft effete individual with tender hands who drives to the forest, dons over a thousand dollars of clothing and "treks" through the forest for, perhaps, 4 hours and then drives home imagining that he is a real men. And being exhausted, goes to bed early. How Pitiful you are. -- cheers, John B. |

And you "gaining an experience of a human being connecting with the natural world and with Mother Earth". What utter nonsense. Can you explain just what this "being connected with the natural world" means? You lived under a tree and raised your own food? Or maybe you cut down the primeval trees and built your own cabin? No, you didn't do that, what you actually did was wonder around, with your stove bought gear, on trails built by someone else, and fantasized that you were communing with nature. The word commune, as you seem to use it means "communicate intimately with; be in a state of heightened, intimate receptivity". So, intimate reception... with a tree? Did you talk with them? Did they answer? Ed, even today there are a very large areas all over the world where there actually is untouched wilderness. If this communing is such an important thing why aren't you somewhere in Northern Canada, Alaska, Borneo, maybe New Guinea, Mongolia, Tibet, to name a few. if you were really "connecting with the natural world" wouldn't an actual uninhabited wilderness provide a much more satisfying experience. But you don't care for that do you. You don't actually want to go out into the in primitive areas. Why they don't have air conditioning. What you actually want some sort of pseudo primitive with little cabins to sleep in, flush toilets and running water. Then you can enjoy communing with nature... oh, don't forget the mosquito spray. You appear to be either a complete phony or the sort of person who has a pet rock. Save it for yourself, you god damn ****ing moron. So, you object hearing the truth, and reply with curses and filthy language. -- cheers, John B. |

I was smart, something that I am sure no one has ever accused you of being. And you "gaining an experience of a human being connecting with the natural world and with Mother Earth".

Or maybe you cut down the primeval trees and built your own cabin? What are you - a survivalist? Jesus Christ Almighty - you are even dumber than I thought possible. At least now I know who they make those dumb TV programs for - like "naked and afraid". A walk in a natural landscape is almost a religious experience, provided you believe in that sort of thing. But to me, it is an experience of being connected to the universe, one devoid of God. Even so, it is highly spiritual. I pity poor slobs like you who do not have a clue about any of this. But I want you and your god damn ****ing bikes to stay off of single track trails. You are desecrating my cathedrals. **** you and all you stand for!

If this communing is such an important thing why aren't you somewhere in Northern Canada, Alaska, Borneo, maybe New Guinea, Mongolia, Tibet, to name a few. if you were really "connecting with the natural world" wouldn't an actual uninhabited wilderness provide a much more satisfying experience. No one needs "untouched wilderness". A relatively untouched wilderness is all that any sane person ever needs to get a sense of our roots as a species and of our place in the grand scheme of things. Or do you think we and the universe sprang from the Head of God? There is nothing so refreshing as a simple walk in the woods, or in the desert, or in any relatively untouched landscape. Too bad you are too stupid to know any of this. Maybe try rereading Thoreau to get a clue. But you don't care for that do you. You don't actually want to go out into the in primitive areas. Why they don't have air conditioning. What you actually want some sort of pseudo primitive with little cabins to sleep in, flush toilets and running water. Then you can enjoy communing with nature... oh, don't forget the mosquito spray. You appear to be either a complete phony or the sort of person who has a pet rock. You have just described yourself in the above 3 paragraphs. The world of hikers is closed to you just as it is to all those who mountain bike on single track trails. Mountain bikes have wheels.

You tell us that back in the 1970's you essentially hiked for a decade, communing with nature. This is a little puzzling as who supported you while you were cavorting in the wilderness? Your mommy and daddy? They paid your keep while you were stumbling around in the bushes? Now, I don't want to speak ill of someone's ancestors but even if you were so obnoxious that they were willing to pay to get you out of the house., still 10 years? Just to keep Eddie away far away? One might say, that it does stretch the imagination, just a little. Next you reveal that you don't know what a "hiking pole" is. An item that millions of other hikers know, apparently intimately as a major sales point seems to be that it has a soft and luxurious hand grip. So, you claim, that you spent 10 years engaged is the wandering around in the forest game and at the same time you have no knowledge of this, apparently essential item that others are willing to pay two hundred American dollars to obtain. Strange, isn't it? As they say, "you have to buy a copy of the program if you want to know the players", but apparently you didn't buy a program In short Eddie, you are looking more and more like a phony. A guy that spent 10 years doing it and don't know the names of the gear? Sort of like a bloke that tells you about how he spent his life as a mechanic and when you mention a "wrench" he doesn't know what you are talking about..... Nope, Eddy, I think that you have "outed" yourself. Not a "hiker" but just an decrepit old fool trying to play the game without knowing anything about it. No more Eddie the Great".

The ones that don't look like a bundle of sticks, so it seems likely that the other references I read about Dolan as a "faggot" must have been a description of his habits rather than of his mental capacity. O.K., now that we've got that cleared up and he is "out of the closet" so to speak, are there any scintillating descriptions of his activities while hanging around the public toilets? Gee.... that must be an exciting pastime. Smelly, but than, I guess that some probably get excited from smells. Someone wrote a song, "Pretty as a Rose, I believe the title may have been that has a few lines in it, "He's pretty as a rose; He wears his sister's clothes, We don't know what to call him; But we think he's one of those." One can only speculate who (or maybe "what") that description fits. But in thinking about it one can only wonder. After all, a bloke who's parents pay him to stay away for ten years.... who is publicly referred to as a "faggot"..... Well there is an old saying that "no smoke, no fire". Ah well, in the U.S. apparently it is no longer hidden. I see that the U.S. Military now accepts "deviants", I think they referred to them as. -- cheers, John B. |

Only a scholar of that civilization can do it - which points up how quickly and how easily all of us are forgotten, no matter how much renown we might have had briefly in our own period of time. Usually within a generation or two it is as if we had never lived. But will someone like Beethoven eventually be forgotten? Yes, even Beethoven will eventually be forgotten!

I grew up in northern New England and it was "dumb as a stump", in the local vernacular. The only dumb faggot here is yoursefl. Mountain bikes have wheels. Wheels are for roads. Trails are for walking. What’s the matter? Can’t walk? Ed Dolan the Great – Minnesota Ah, an explanation. As I know that I am not a bundle of wood, so he must he equating "faggot" to the other kind. The ones that don't look like a bundle of sticks, so it seems likely that the other references I read about Dolan as a "faggot" must have been a description of his habits rather than of his mental capacity. O.K., now that we've got that cleared up and he is "out of the closet" so to speak, are there any scintillating descriptions of his activities while hanging around the public toilets? Gee.... that must be an exciting pastime. Smelly, but than, I guess that some probably get excited from smells. Someone wrote a song, "Pretty as a Rose, I believe the title may have been that has a few lines in it, "He's pretty as a rose; He wears his sister's clothes, We don't know what to call him; But we think he's one of those." One can only speculate who (or maybe "what") that description fits. But in thinking about it one can only wonder. After all, a bloke who's parents pay him to stay away for ten years.... who is publicly referred to as a "faggot"..... Well there is an old saying that "no smoke, no fire". Ah well, in the U.S. apparently it is no longer hidden. I see that the U.S. Military now accepts "deviants", I think they referred to them as. Anyone who is as interested in the subject of faggots as you have demonstrated above means of course that you are one yourself. Since you have let the cat out of the bag, why not just own up to it and quit beating about the bush? No one in the world cares about your sexual fornications. Why not be proud of being a faggot? You have lots of company these days. -- cheers, John B. Take your "cheers" and shoved it up your ass, you dumb ****ing moron. Most repair manuals are far more interesting than you, and far less turgid to read. I'd get more pleasure from running my nostrils down a cactus, than reading another contribution from you.

Gee Eddie, I hate to tell you but "up your ass" while likely an expression of affection in your group is hardly a term that is universally used. Particularly in polite circles. But I suppose that one has to view with a bit of leeway someone who spent an entire decade wandering around in the bushes apparently without contact with civilization. It would seem though, that when you just a young sprout you must have been pretty obnoxious else why would your parents be so eager to get you out of the house? And pay you to stay away. But, "dumb ****ing moron"? Well, I'm sorry but I'm not sure that is correct as in fact it seem pretty obvious that I am considerably more intelligent they you. After all I have known for years and years and years, that a "Bi" "Cycle" has two wheels, a fact that you seem to believe is some sort of revelation from, perhaps the "Forest Primeval", as you mention it in every post. I suppose that you are trying to inform the unwashed American Hikers of your great discovery, "My goodness Irving, did you know, actually know, that a bicycle has two, just imagine it, two wheels? Isn't that perfectly lovely?" I guess that along with your weird sexual habits you are probably a bit forgetful? Old age is it? Of course there possibly is a simpler explanation, and while I, of course, would never mention it but you might be a bit feeble minded, or more in line with American political correctness, "Mentally Challenged". Now Dooly, you aren't one of those who are attracted to young boys are you? With your poor memory I feel that I really should remind you that the American public, in general, takes a very dim view of that kind of thing and, heaven forbid, they will even put you in the jail house for years and years for acting out your visions of ecstasy. NO Dooly, don't do that, it is very, very naughty to even think it. But I must go now. I have to take my (female) spouse shopping (I know that you believe a "female" spouse is a bit unusual) but there it is, us "normals" are a bit odd. But do try, with your timely posts, to keep us acquainted with what the (what should one say?) the queer hikers, the strange hikers, the faggot hikers? (I'm just not acquainted with current terminology) are doing these days. -- cheers, John B. |

Well, greetings Dooley. Sorry to ignore you for the past days but then, you are rather ignoble. But, I see you have been busy in my absence I see your fevered reply to my missive and one bouquet from News and the rest appear to be Dooley replying to Dooley. Talking to one's self, as it were. Do you do that a lot? I mean, we all know about your sexual preferences, not that we actually applaud the "small boys" antics but there you are. Different strokes for different folks, as someone said. But this talking to your self? Well, it just isn't the thing to do you know. I mean wandering down the street mumbling to your self and drooling down your shirt front? Just not the thing to do, you know. Perhaps if you could see your way clear to do just one. You could mumble without drooling, or maybe drool without mumbling. Perhaps not really "the thing" in the best of society, but out there. lurking in the bushes.... What you really should is to get a box and go down there in front of City Hall. Put the box on the corner and mount up and tell the world about them big, bad, bicycles, with all them wheels (Goodness, but they are greedy, why, they got two each, the greedy scoundrels). See, down there i front of the government people there is no doubt that someone will listen to you and you WILL get your message out where everyone will hear it. But you got to remember Dooley, you can't mumble. No, you have to speak out in a big voice. Be assertive, show them folks how erudite you really are. But while it is said that "great public speakers are born not made" still it might be wise to practice a bit before the big day. Perhaps you could get another box for the front yard to practice with. So, early Sunday morning you could be out there, in the front yard, on your box (dressed neatly of course) and speaking clearly (no mumbling now) and here you go: LISTEN UP EVERYBODY AS I HAVE NEWS! NEWS I SAY! BICYCLES HAVE TWO WHEELS! NOT ONE ,BUT TWO, TWO WHEELS! O.K., now step down off the box, a few deep breaths to recover, maybe a towel to wipe the fevered brow. And do it again. Keep practicing until you get it letter perfect. Don't be shy Dooley, Man! you gonna be da man! Then Monday morning, down to the main square and up on your box. Don't be shy now since as they "say early to rise" and all that. Say 06:00. Oh yes, be sure to use "army" talk. Use the military time system and talk about tactical this and tactics that. It'll make you look strong and powerful, and manly. (yes I know, "manly" isn't really your thing but do it anyway. You can "come out", as it were, after you are famous) Yes Sir, Dooley , you can be a legend in your own time. My goodness, if you had an axe and a cow you could call yourself Paul, instead of "faggot". -- cheers, John B. |

Ah Dooley, I see that you are into the cut and past game. I suppose that a bloke who is so continually amazed with a "Bi"-"Cycle" having wheels is probably a little short in the mental department. Can't even compose a reply. On the Internet? In English? Coherently? But I suppose we are all a bit limited in some manner. I'm a bit shorter than today's norm and you are, of course, a bit limited in? Would it be composition skills? Or your English skills? Or, your mental abilities? "Old Dumb Dooley, the Dunce", is it? Well, as they say, whatever shakes your tree. Oh, by the way, Dooley I came across some interesting numbers the other day. It seems that some U.S. agency counted the numbers of hikers that utilized public parks and forests and the numbers of people who rode bicycles and they found that approximately twice as many people had ridden a bike in the past year as had gone hiking in the same period. So in the Hiker-Biker wars the bikers win by a 2 - 1 margin. Unless or course that you people scampering around there out in the bushes are advocating some form of Fascism or maybe Communism in stead of a democracy. I also came across a post that you, your very own self, apparently posted some time ago wherein you said: " "Some of you have me down for a troll, but you have got that most awfully wrong. Until just recently, I did not even know myself what I was doing..." "By gorry", I thought, "he does know what he was talking about then, but he sure appears to have gone down hill since". So mentally, I suppose, we can probably view old Dooley as a failure. Eight or ten years ago he seemed to know what he was talking about but today he is reduced to cut and past antics... A clear case of "Age-Related Memory Loss", or perhaps simply brain deterioration. Like Alzheimer's. By the way the Alzheimer's Association has some tests that you can take to discover just how advanced your case is. But I suppose that Shakespeare had it right when he wrote: "That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything." -- cheers, John B. |

So in the Hiker-Biker wars the bikers win by a 2 - 1 margin. I myself do much more cycling than I do walking, but is the biking you mention above on single track trails in wilderness settings? I doubt it, but I must admit that hiking has always been for the select few. After all it take decades of education before one gets to the point of appreciating nature in a wilderness setting. Most folks never do get to this kind of knowledge. I suspect it is because they think God created them out of nothing and that the natural world had little to do with it. But whether folks are biking or hiking, what does that matter? The world is full of roads and streets for cycling whereas wilderness trails are relatively rare. That is reason enough to exclude bikes from single track wilderness trails. See Mike Vandeman for the many other reasons why bikes do not belong on single track trails. He is the world expert on the subject besides being a genius. [...] Mountain bikes have wheels. Wheels are for roads. Trails are for walking. What’s the matter? Can’t walk?
