Well, YOURS is also honest, sort of: : a typical
mountain biker attitude. The other day I saw a mountain biker carrying his bike
onto an escalator, where they aren't allowed. He ignored my pointing it out to
him, and basically said "**** you" to the person in charge. UTTERLY typical.

In which wilderness area was this escalator?

Or, perhaps this was a person who followed YOUR advice about riding
only on pavement in the city.

Maybe this was a typical Mike Vandeman follower attitude.

Happy trails,

MV blurts:

Funny, I don't recall any escalators on the trails I've ridden. Sounds
more
like an urban cyclist to me.

On a mountain bike? Urban cyclists ride city-appropriate bikes. You
are just trying to avoid the obvious conclusion that mountain bikers
are sociopaths.

But, but..... if he's not on a mountain, he's not a muontain-biker, right?
He's a hiker with a bike on his shoulder, or an escalator-cyclist or something.

Steve "didn't we go through this already?"

And I am still waiting for you guys to tell the truth about it. When
you go to public hearings, you identify yourselves as mountain bikers,
even though you aren't on your bikes. Get your (false) story straight.
