Where do you see any specifics?

I don't need to tell you which

spoken/presented at to make it
perfectly clear that I am
familiar with them.

Yes, you do, because there is otherwise no reason to believe you.
Mountain bikers are NOTORIOUSLY dishonest. After all, there's no way
that mountain biking can be justified while being truthful! There is
no good reason to allow bikes into natural areas.

No - He doesn't. It is you that is making claims that your OPINIONS be taken
as fact. The burden of proof is on you and your opinions which you claim to
be valid simply because you read your opinions to a finite audience at any
given conference. You CLAIM validity without offering substantial detail on
review which may be verified from outside sources. "Because you say so" is
not substantial.
Your OPINIONS of the activity are the only evidence you have ever put forth
to measure any reasons, facts or research given to support the activity.
