His version of hiking, essentially walking in a few parks near his home, has little to do with the sort of hiking most people are doing. His pronouncements on proper hiking shoes and equipment are just as much a joke as his pronouncments on proper cycling gear. Remember that he hates hiking, too, and as soon as he stops the evils of mountain biking he will move towards banning hiking in any area where wildlife lives or ever lived.

I think Mikey is a genuine tree-hugging, Sierra Club card-carrying hiker -- equipped with the latest dirt-ripping lugged (if not spiked) boots. He just /says/ he walks barefoot in a lame attempt to hide his blatant hypocrisy on the issue of trail damage and rampant insect carnage. He loves his "selfish, destructive sport", and wants to keep it for himself while denying other users the right to enjoy nature /the way they see fit/... Bill "JMNSHO" S. |

He has ordered hikers to wear smooth soled boots, with obvious disregard for hiking terrain and conditions outside his experience. I have cooperated, and by using my boots enough, the lugs have worn down.
