That's got to be a regional thing. * Soil type, cycling/hiking populations.... Quite a few people do both. *I think it might be difficult to figure out exactly what the proportions are. *I haven't gone mountain biking in years, but the sense I get are that quite a few mountain biking organizations are active in trail maintenance activities. *They might not be doing so with mountain bikes in tow, so how does one know? The mountain bike trails I know of in my area are mostly hard-packed fire and maintenance roads. *Their maintenance was mostly by the local land agency. *I remember hiking on one trail that was difficult enough on foot, but would have been crazy on a bike. *It was signed for multi- use including bikes. *The whole trail had been turned into a moonscape by dairy cattle grazing in the area and stepping on the trail after rains. Man, ain't that the truth. The cows do orders of magnitude more damage than bikes and feet combined. |

God Damn ranchers are even worse than mountain bikers I must admit. Read Edward Albee to get a clue about this problem in our American West.

Very strange since Google Groups has more or less blacklisted me. Thank God I never have to use that website. My Windows Mail via Knology is all I have ever used. My OS is Vista.
