Default 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.)

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!
