You see, Dollies mentor, his paladin one might say, who fights the

good fight against California mountain bikers, was arrested and
charged with assault with a weapon for attacking a mountain biker with
a wood saw, and received a jail sentence.

Nope, wrong on all counts, but how typical of those who support mountain
biking to lie about simple facts that anyone can look up.

But that was not an isolated instance, a "hiker" in New Brunswick was

caught placing logs across paths in order to injure bikers, a 57 year
old psychiatrist named Jackson Tyler Dempsey was sentenced to 30 days
in jail and two years of probation for stringing shoulder-level nylon
rope across trails near Ashland, Oregon, a man was caught on camera
moving rocks and logs into riders' paths in Quincy, California, a
mountain biker found plywood boards riddled with protruding nails on
singletrack near Carbondale, Colorado.

I can see that I shall have to start posting hundreds of articles about how
mountain bikers create illegal trails in order to demonstrate their criminal
mentality.

By the way, I strongly advocate that hikers carry a firearm just in case
they are threatened by these criminal mountain bikers.

In short, hikers are fighting back against the demon bikers who want

to use parks and forests while hikers wish to deny them the use of
these public facilities

Ideally a few justified killings of mountain bikers on the trail by hikers
might clarify things as to whom has the right to these trails. It would
certainly make the land managers sit up and take notice.

But noticeably the name Dolan (the great) is missing from the annals

of those dedicated fighters against the demon cyclists. And one can
only speculate why?

Ed Dolan the Great, along with the Great Mike Vandeman, do our fighting in
other ways.

He posts and posts and posts and posts vilifying the bikers but if

news reports are to be believed takes no action himself.

Posting to a bicycle newsgroup is a form of action that even a dunce like
you should acknowledge.

Mountain bikes have wheels. Wheels are for roads.

Trails are for walking. What’s the matter? Can’t walk?

Ed Dolan the Great – Minnesota


By Gorry, old Doodles is certainly quick on the trigger with his
frantic mouthing's. Why, he actually stayed up until after 10 P.M. to
pen his screed of denial. But, alas, it was just another notification
that bicycles have wheels.

One has to give old Doodles credit though, he has found that bicycles
have wheels and has spent many dreary hours at the computer to advise
everyone of this astonishing discovery. Good for you Drooly!

But astonishing for someone who is so violent in his hatred of
bicycles he seems to have taken such a surprisingly long time to
analyze them. Why, the discovery of the wheels undoubtedly required
days, if not years, of study and contemplation to accurately assess.

And, all else aside, his recent post seems to be a simple denial of
reality. After all, although he has for years and years been damning
in his announcements of the two wheel menace, the only evidence that
he has actually done something, an overt act, to deny these demon
machines the right of access to public property, is to describe his
speaking firmly to a MTB rider, who apparently ignored him and his
subsequent reporting of this feat to some sort of enforcement agent.
Who, apparently also ignored him... even after he described his
"speaking harshly" to the cyclist.

As an aside, given his filthy mouth and his penchant for using foul
language, it is truly amazing that the bicycle rider didn't punch him
in the nose.

So essentially what we have is a filthy mouth individual proclaiming
the dangers of the demon riders in loud and profane language while
never doing anything physical to achieve his ends.

Perhaps rather than "Ed, the Great" a more descriptive sobriquet might
be "Ed, the Craven".

Lord! It must be dishearten to have ranted and raved against these
infernal machines for all these years... and no one listened. Sort of
a "fart in a hurricane" sort of thing.
