Mountain Bikers Just Don't Get It!
Incredible as it may seem, mountain bikers actually think that
damaging activities like mountain-top removal make mountain biking damage acceptable! After you stop laughing, let them know what you think. Mike Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2007 10:34:26 -0700 From: Josh Subject: [ROMP] environmental destruction (off topic) I came across this site called http://www.ilovemountains.org about mountain top mining in the Appalachians. Compared to the impact caused by mountain biking, it seems we environmentalists have much bigger issues to concern ourselves with than a little siltation in streams or running over the occasional snake. Mountain top mining removes the mountain top, mines coal, and dumps the rock and soil from the mountain into nearby canyons and gulches, completely burying entire riparian habitats.

If thats the case why doesnt anyone worth their salt take you seriously? They DO. The organizations that have sponsored the conferences where I gave my mountain biking paper are top-notch. And why arent you jetting the world discussing your findings at international conferences? I am. See my web site. And why do you have so much time to dedicate to posting utter tripe on here? Maybe, since you're the expert and so little notice is taken of you, your plight is so meaningless (or your work so poor) that even the rest of the environmentalist community cant be arsed to listen to your ramblings. Unfortunately, like so many misguided and mentally ill, you'll never get a grip on your problem and you'll still be posting here in another 10 years, and still no-one will be taking you seriously. Its funny how, when you're so wrapped up in your thoughts on a subject, you can be so far from the correct answer yet be so convinced as to your accuracy. CONVENIENTLY, as usual, you don't give a single example of my alleged "incorrect" statements -- a good sign that you don't know what you are talking about. === I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to humans ("pure habitat").
