Best use isn't decided by you Ed.


It is decided by people like me who have some education and culture, not by slobs like you.

They are going to have to carve out a separate
trail system for themselves. We hikers do not want bikers on our

trails.

I already disposed of your 'we hikers' assertion Ed.

You do not speak for the vast majority of hikers. Your words and views are
your own.

My words and views are those of all serious hikers, the kind
of hikers that trails were meant for in the first instance.


I'm not going over that all over again. You are a largely solitary man, by your own admission, and therefore interact with a tiny number of others. As such, you are in no position to assume that your views are in the slightest bit representative of other hikers.


Most hikers tend to be solitary types, even if they are hiking with others. Trails are where we can be at one with nature and closest to God (if He exists). The very last thing any hiker needs on the trail is a god damn cyclist doing his ****ing sport. Find a race track for what you want to do.

And, to repeat myself, most of the trails were originally meant for people travelling from point A to point B ... not as recreation for elitist and self regarding people like you.


It doesn’t matter what trails were for originally. For the past hundred years or so they have been given over to hikers. That is because our forefathers had some brains, unlike the present generation of idiots like you.

Mountain bikers are barbarians and have no right to be on any trail used by hikers – unless they want to get off their god damn ****ing bikes and walk like everyone else. When they crash and injure themselves, I rejoice! If and when they manage to kill themselves, I say good riddance to bad rubbish! Death to mountain biking!

Trails are for walking. What’s the matter? Can’t walk?

Interesting that drooling Dolan is now espousing more damage to the

environment, just so that he can have his own trails in solitary
splendour.

Mr. Vandeman is the expert on damage to the trails. Compared to him the rest of us are blooming idiots.

We can now look forward to him having a circular argument with

himself. Maybe that's the Dolan equivalent of a divide by zero error, and he
will need outside intervention in order to function. It would explain a lot.

Post content or get lost. What an Asshole!

Now go **** yourself and quit bothering the honorable members of this noble newsgroup.

Oh do get over yourself ... it's getting very tiresome. Who

are you to try and determine what is moral ?

I am a Great Saint and therefore more than qualified to pass
on what is moral and what is immoral. You are immoral because you are doing is
just plain evil. I am moral because I am a Great Saint!


You are a. a hubristic a******e and b. committing, yet again, circular logic so provably wrong

"Ownership has nothing to do with it. All public land
is managed for best use - or have l already said that a couple of

dozen times?"

Best use isn't decided by you Ed.


It is decided by people like me who have some education and
culture, not by slobs like you.


You've not shown an ounce of education or culture Ed. You're profane, hubristic, innumerate and can't argue logically using precepts and logic. No wonder the land managers ignore you.

They are going to have to carve out a separate
trail system for themselves. We hikers do not want bikers on our

trails.

Ed.

You do not speak for the vast majority of hikers. Your words and

I'm not going over that all over again. You are a largely

(if He exists). The very last thing any hiker needs on the trail is a god damn
cyclist doing his ****ing sport. Find a race track for what you want to
do.


So, you just reiterated my point; you are solitary and don't socialise with others. As such, your views are your own ... you have no idea what the majority view is since you've never sought to find out.

And, to repeat myself, most of the trails were originally meant

for people travelling from point A to point B ... not as recreation for elitist
and self regarding people like you.

It doesn't matter what trails were for originally. For the
past hundred years or so they have been given over to hikers. That is because
our forefathers had some brains, unlike the present generation of idiots like

So "It doesn't matter what the trails were for originally" ? Great, then clearly it's fine for them to be used for mountainbiking. If it's fine for you to annex them then why is it any different for a different use ?

My views are those of all serious hikers, who by nature tend to be solitary. We solitary types occasionally get together and exchange views, but it is not really necessary because I KNOW what all serious hikers want on the trail – some communion with nature. We can’t get that with bikers whizzing around us.

You simply do not know how to read. I stated that for the past hundred years or so they have been given over to hikers. That statement assumes for anyone who can read that that use should continue forever. Learn how to read between the lines if that is even remotely possible.

Oh, I know how to read ... you're just to dumb to understand. You shot yourself in the foot right at the outset by admitting that hiking was a use which came along AFTER the trails were already extant.

Given that use was changed for the recreation of hiking there is no logical reason why it can't be changed again to permit other recreations too. Your hundred years argument is pointless ... mountainbikes didn't exist a hundred years ago just as, three hundred years ago, very few individuals hiked for recreation.

Some changes destroy forever what was precious. We do not want trails ever to be for anything but for the contemplation of nature. Cyclists are doing a sport which has no place on hiking trails. You are mixing the profane with the sacred.

Hiking trails were developed and maintained for the past hundred years or so to serve hikers and equestrians. Bikers are a recent intrusion and do not belong on hiking trails anymore than motorized vehicles do. The fact is they are OUR trails – and most definitely not yours!

Oh no, that sounds like a nasty spill! I hope the 66-year-old biker makes a full recovery. Mountain biking can definitely lead to some painful tumbles, as I've learned the hard way over the years. Though ribs are better than breaking a hip - easier bounce back from bruised ribs if you know what I mean!

Speaking of bouncing back...fellas, while you're laid up recovering, why not treat yourself to some high-quality solo TLC? I highly recommend the hands free male masturbator Thrust Pro 10X masturbator for some rehab relief! With 10 vibration modes and a snug squeeze, it's way more exciting than an ice pack. The phone mount lets you enjoy hands-free while catching up on your shows too.

That premium silicone feels so realistic, your ribs won't know the difference! And the discreet packaging ensures complete privacy, so the nurses will be none the wiser about your recovery aid. It's whisper quiet - perfect for the hospital.

The Thrust Pro 10X is doctor recommended for rest, relaxation, and restricted recreation. Get well soon! And be careful out there on those perilous trails. At least if you wipe out again you know you've got a hot date with the Thrust Pro waiting at home!
