Who is saying what?

Surely that is fair.
Nope. Two wrongs don't make a right

Two Wrights made an airplane fly! Oh and before they did that, the
built (care to take a wild guess?) BICYCLES...
They even invented the left handed thread to keep the left pedal from
unscrewing itself. Which by the way, has MANY usefull applications in
the modern world.


There is a long history of trails being for hikers and equestrians
only.

Do some research on Buffalo Soldier Bicycle Corps... back in the 1890's
(how's that for history) they rode into Northern Montana and toured
Yellowstone (hmm.... a National Park perhaps?) on bicycles. They
traveled almost 2,000 miles from Ft. Missoula, MT across the Rocky
Mountains and Great Plains, all the way to St. Louis, MO. I think there
might be a historical precedent there......


Any mountain biker who tries to invade wilderness should be
thrown up against a wall and executed Mexican style.

That is a pretty harsh statement.... Have you ever witnessed such an
event?
Or even seen what the wall behind those who were executed looks like
several years later?
I have... In fact I ride by such a wall every day, it's a pretty
sobering sight I assure you.

Remember that scene from the movie "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre"? After
the Mexican bandits have murdered Humphry Bogart, they are caught by the
police and are immediately executed by firing squad. Nobody seemed to mind
dying, not even the bandits. Well, that is what life is like when life is
cheap I guess.

Actually, I think a bullet to the back of the head is probably the most
humane way to put someone out of their misery, don't you?
