Mike http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4072/...50be8a1c25.jpg Bill: I think perhaps we should be a bit kinder to our friend Mikey. It's very rare that an insignificant nobody is able to impact the way words are used to communicate ideas. Rodney King, for example, did so with his impassioned question, "Why can't we all just get along?". Now Mikey has given a whole new meaning to the phrase, "I saw you". |

But, no matter, YOU said that biking on a hiking trail is dangerous for the biker. I just wanted to point out that hiking on a biking trail has its dangers too. You tend to hile wherever you want, and demand that where you want to hike be preserved for hikers, but the reality is that you hike on biking trails and should, as a result, be careful. |

You are well acquainted with an envirowhacko that is known (arrested for) carrying a saw on a trail, then using the saw to criminally assault the trail users he encountered. Michael J.Vandeman is a CRIMINAL. And he's an idiot. That makes him a criminal idiot, and you are well acquainted with him. Maybe you should have pursued a woman instead of buryhing your head into books all of your life. Maybe you would understand the falicy of your position. No, probably not. |

There are also the examples of the child, walking the hiking trail with her parents from Bownam Bay to Riasrio Beach (in Washington State), who was killed by a falling limb from a dead tree; or the hiker (again on a routine hiking trail) killed a couple weeks ago in the North Cascades by falling rocks.

Normal hiking on a hiking trail will not. Normal hiking on a mountain biking trail is not for you either. It's fine for me because I pay attention to the other users on the trail. It is the difficulties of cycling on an irregular trail itself that will get you killed, not running into other users. But, no matter, YOU said that biking on a hiking trail is dangerous for the biker. I just wanted to point out that hiking on a biking trail has its dangers too. No sane hiker would be on a biking trail. If only the reverse were true. You tend to hike wherever you want, and demand that where you want to hike be preserved for hikers, but the reality is that you hike on biking trails and should, as a result, be careful. I wouldn't be caught dead on a biking trail. 99.99% of all trails are hiking trails. The only biking trails I know about are the recently constructed ones at mountain ski resorts like Aspen.

I have read that book and it is a good read. The darndest things can happen, no doubt about it at all. There are also the examples of the child, walking the hiking trail with her parents from Bownam Bay to Riasrio Beach (in Washington State), who was killed by a falling limb from a dead tree; or the hiker (again on a routine hiking trail) killed a couple weeks ago in the North Cascades by falling rocks. The examples you cite above are freak events. They do not relate to the common accidents that moutain bikers suffer riding their bikes on hiking trails. A mountain bike accident on a hiking trail is never a freak event. It was just waiting to happen. Mr. Vandeman posts relevant information on the dangers of normal mounain biking on hiking trails; you post information caused by risky behavior and now freak events. There is no comparison at all.
