Let's deal with priorities.

1: Stop sales and logging of our National Forests.
2: Stop roads.
3: Stop motorized vehicles.
4: Protect wildlife.
5: Prevent polutants and runoff.

People like Vandeman and Dolan play right into the hands of the real
enemies of recreation that are many of the logging companies, and the
manufacturers of snow-mobiles, and ATVs. If they can get the self-powered
recreation users fighting among themselves, then there is no unified
constituency to go after the real abusers of the land.

The problem we hikers have with mountain bikers is more a skirmish than
anything else. SMS is quite right to take note of who the major violators of
nature and wilderness are.
