Liar: http://mjvande.nfshost.com/scb7.htm And so a website with links to unpublished conference papers, obscure and very old literature reviews and opinion pieces is meant to be taken as scientific fact? Come on Mike - pull the other one old chum. We are not stupid. Provide us with some references from a real science journals such as conservation biology or biological conservation which provides empirical evidence that mountain biking does more harm than good to the environment? Mike can't provide you with any real scientific references ... because they all refute his premises.

You obviously haven't a clue. You don't even know the difference between premises and conclusions! Keep it up. You are proving, for the millionth time, that all mountain bikers are lying idiots.

So, he has to resort to writing his own opinion pieces and then referring back to them as if they had some kind of merit. They don't, as you quite rightly point out.
