Wilderness Q&A

Yes, I have a question: Why can't mountain bikers walk, like everybody
else?

Mike


From: Ted Stroll
Subject: Wilderness Q&A

Everyone,

I'm planning to write an article for the ROMP newsletter on mountain
biking and federal Wilderness, i.e., why we can't ride there. It's
basically a legal issue, though, of course, there are political
aspects that affect the legal background.

I'm planning to do the article in question-and-answer format. At first
I was going to write my own questions and answer them, and I still
will, but I thought I should also invite your questions. You're likely
to think of questions that wouldn't occur to me.

So if you have a question, please send it to me and I'll see if I can
incorporate it in the article.

Here are some examples of possible questions: When did the Wilderness
ban take effect? How much Wilderness is there in the U.S.? What's the
main law that says no biking in Wilderness? How can this law or these
laws be changed? Is there any likelihood I'll ever be able to ride in
Wilderness? Please feel free to ask these or any other questions you
have.

Ted

Probably for the same reason enviromentalists can't take a sailboat to
an international conference.

Everybody else does not walk, some ride bikes, some ride horses, some drive
(the slower the better).

If you put as much energy into hiking and walking yourself as you do
flapping your gums and copying other's articles, you could do the
atlantic to pacific in record time...

Do other people here realize our Berkley "environmental" dietary hero,
mike, was a coward from the military??

Oh yeah...sorry. I mentioned the fact his original post, which is
always unoriginal because if you look...it is all someone elses
research, posts, letters, etc. Nothing is ever "HIS" material.

Then what you all have been saying about not being allowed in various
parks & Wildernesses is a LIE: you DO have access, because you can
WALK.
