An excellent summarization indeed! I recommend that you
read it over and over and then memorize it. The only thing missing is the final
judgment. The above reasons are NOT perceptions, but FACTS. Nothing could be

Christ! You are even denser than I thought!

Well, what should I call you when you either haven't bothered to read the report or have just completely misrepresented its conclusions ?

As the report makes clear, these are PERCEPTUAL issues. For the hard of understanding, as you now appear to be, that means that IT'S NOT REAL !

They are not perceptual issues, they are real. What good does it do to present the facts and then claim they are not real, only perceptual. We are dealing with different levels of mentality here. Yours, which are childish and self-serving, and mine, which are solid and above board. This is what happens when one is devoid of common sense. The so-called perceptual issues are my facts and the only reality that matters to me.

Or, to put it even more basically so even you can't misunderstand ...

No, hikers and bikers DON'T collide very often
No, bikes don't wreck the trails any more than hikers ... but large numbers of either will have an impact
No, mountainbiking is not like motorcyling or other ATV recreation and is not an 'inappropriate' use of trails

These are the perception of some hikers, but not reality.

All your points above have previously been dealt with and disposed of by yours truly. Your hedges don’t excuse the transgressions.

Get back to me when you can handle the motorcycles on hiking trails in a sensible manner. I won’t hold my breath.
