What are YOU doing about that problem? I spent 8 years on it. Mountain
bikers complain about motor vehicles, but instead of working on
getting rid of them, they join in & use one to carry their bikes to
the trailhead. What hypocrisy!

I'm not an off-road biker, but if you had read my blog (Witch on a
Bicycle) you would know what I do about the problem, I speak to police
departments, I lobby my representatives, and I ride nearly every day
obeying the laws and presenting a positive role model.

You don't seem to be responding to my question: how are you "working
on getting rid of them"? Hint: that requires reducing places to drive
& places to park. If you don't do that, cars will never cease to be a
problem. And defending mountain biking only shows that you don't have
a clue about what is important in this life, which is protecting the
other creatures, upon which humans are 100% dependent.

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!

They are doing more than you ever have done. ALL you do is "talk"
about spending 8 years, blah, blah. You were as effective with that
about as much as you have been successful with marriages.

Please don't mention "protecting other creatures." Your international
airline travel has caused more damage to the environment than any car
owner will ever do in their lifetime. Michael J. Vandeman, selfish
hypocrite.
