Mountain Bikers Don't Like to Share Trails, After All!
It was only a matter of time, but has happened sooner than I thought
it would. We now have evidence of dirtbikers of the motorized kind taking to the hiking and mountain biking trails in North Vanouver's forests. See this link: http://bb.nsmb.com/showthread.php?t=83150 I thought that I heard motors up in our forests, recently, but assumed it was the "DNV sanctioned chainsaws for mountain bike trail building". So Pandora's box is opening up with all sorts of nasty surprises to come our way, thanks to the opening up of our forests and natural parkland to the wheeled variety of recreation without proper management. Meanwhile, the mountain bikers do not like it one bit. I guess it is my time to step back and let the mountain bikers do battle with the dirt bikers until our District municipality gets sick of it all and throws the whole lot out! That will be the day (when pig's fly?). I also warned our municpality this would be the result of their leniency, a couple years ago. Yes, we do get the forests we deserve. Sadly. === I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8 years fighting auto dependence and road construction.) http://home.pacbell.net/mjvande |

Mike, you'll be happy to know I got myself some nice lug-soled hiking boots and squashed the **** out of some plants that were popping up in the middle of MY hiking trail this weekend. It was too bad that the trail was so technical in places that I was completely unable to enjoy nature at all. Imagine, having to STOP to look around! I am also happy to report that I killed several ants, mosquitos, and a few fish in my travels. How inconsiderate of me. Clearly hiking and camping must be stopped! cc |
