Nope, I'm impacted by those walkers who never stray far from their motor

vehicles, so a bicycle allows me to get beyond those people.

That would not have been true 30 or 40 years ago when I think long hikes were much more popular than they are today. Even so, you are transgressing what was originally intended for use only by equestrians and hikers.


But Dolie, you previously talked about "trails made by animals". Were

those "intended for use only by equestrians and hikers"?

The Asshole previous to you was saying that a wildness has no trails, but every patch of land on earth has trails, except maybe Antarctica. Trails for equestrians and hikers are mostly man made, but such trails are there for the purpose of allowing humans access to wilderness. It is why wilderness areas were created in the first place.

I'll bet that they weren't as I suspect that those animals could care

less about any equestrians and I'm sure that they would have run if a
"hiker" had appeared on the scene.

Who knows what animals think?

Mountain bikes have wheels. Wheels are for roads.

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