Default Mountain Bikers Don't Like to Share Trails, After All!

It was only a matter of time, but has happened sooner than I thought

taking to the hiking and mountain biking trails in North Vanouver's
forests. See this link:

motors up in our forests, recently, but assumed it was the "DNV
sanctioned chainsaws for mountain bike trail building".


Mike, you'll be happy to know
I got myself some nice
lug-soled hiking boots and
squashed the **** out of some
plants that were popping up in
the middle of MY hiking trail
this weekend. It was too bad
that the trail was so
technical in places that I was
completely unable to enjoy
nature at all. Imagine, having
to STOP to look around!

I am also happy to report that
I killed several ants,
mosquitos, and a few fish in
my travels.


Liar.

How inconsiderate
of me. Clearly hiking and
camping must be stopped!


I don't support either, of course. But YOU do.

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.)

Please don't put a cell phone next to any part of your body that you are fond of!
