Any sport so extreme that it requires special protective equipment is
pretty stupid! Kind of like the people who practice it!

No, you don't, liar, or you wouldn't be mountain biking. Why can't
mountain bikers EVER tell the truth about their selfish, destructive,
disgusting sport?

How about the helmets rock and mountain climbers wear?

Or the helmets (used to be called "tin hats") worn by many folks who hike in the
old growth evergreen forests of the Pacific Northwest. (See the forestry term
"widowmaker")?

Or sun shading headgear worn by folks hiking in the Mojave Desert?

Or thermal and waterproof attire worn by those hiking in the severe winter
conditions of Yellowstone's back country?

Or life vests worn when canoing or kayaking in rough Pacific coastal waters?

BS. I hiked there many times and never saw anyone wearing anything
like that, liar.

Thanks for agreeing that equestrians are stupid and looking out for
their safety. They wear helmets because they are trying to control a
big dumb animal and could become injured.

No, they wear helmets because mountain bikers are stupider than
horses, and frequently endanger wildlife and other trail users.
Mountain bikers are their own worst enemies (evolution in action)!

You just lied AGAIN, because you haven't the foggiest idea how much
time I spent there. Mountain bikers think that their merely saying
something makes it true.

I still don't have an answer: Why can't mountain bikers EVER tell the
truth?
