The truth about mountain biking in a nutshell
Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:02:25 -0700
Subject: The truth about mountain biking in a nutshell The best recommended comment from the story about Kelowna's illegal mtb courses. The truth. It happens here, too -- not just in the USA and California, etc., like the Mayor likes to remind me. This guy, "Joe Public", could not have stated it better: "I was the live-in caretaker on Knox Mountain for two years. This is a city park and not a mountain bike course and the problem lies completely with the mentality of the mountain bikers. The city parks department went to great lengths to allow and accomodate mountain bikers within the park by discussing needs with mountain bikers and by creating authorised trails for them to use. The problem is that most mountain bikers want to do what they want and go where they want to go. They do not like to follow trails or remain is selected areas, they like to create trails and jumps, and they are destroying the park in the process. I have personally spoken to several "leaders" of local mountain bike clubs and several owners of local mountain bike stores. Up front they claim to be supportive of the park rules, yet when they think that no one is watching, they lead groups of riders down pristine park fields, creating new trails which will continue to erode for decades, or they sneak into the park after hours to ride with headlamps. When approached on unauthorised trails, university educated riders claim to have not seen the signs and curiously, the next time you catch them on the same unauthorised trails, the signs have all been knocked down. These same "leaders" were asked to form work crews to repair the destruction of the city parks, yet not one rider cared enough to show up. The rampant lack of respect for Kelowna's parks by the mountain biking community is the main reason why I did not renew my contract within the park. Over the course of 6 years, the mountain biking community of Kelowna has shown no concern for the park itself, and as such and for the sake of the park, should be banned completely. It will take 20 years to repair the damage of their unauthorised rides. -- I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8 years fighting auto dependence and road construction.) Please don't put a cell phone next to any part of your body that you are fond of! http://home.pacbell.net/mjvande |

Snip, again.
What would possess anyone to repost your drivel? One only has to see that you sent the post to know there is nothing worthwhile in it, so keeping it in a reply is a waste of bandwidth. Pretty much like you are a waste of skin and natural resources. BTW, you replied. |

No, you only IMAGINED that you figured it out. Just like you IMAGINED that you aren't a moron. Would that be the same as you imagining you wrote a book, remember you did state this previously...yet no evidence produced. Or that you imagine yourself to be some great important martyr for "the cause" while working for a company that rapes the environment in the name of technology. Or that you imagined you didn't fly to australia...but state you walked to the airport...yet never admit to flying in the first place... Or like you imagine every time you post that picture of Mike VandeRman running beside the bike, you try and claim that physical specimen as you when everyone knows it isn' even close... You malignant being. |
