Personally, I always carry a whistle, dry matches, a first aid kit and a light rain shell to *protect* me from the elements. You need to understand. Mike is very serious about his position. Since hiking boots and shoes are designed to protect the wearer, he hikes barefoot. And when it dawned on him that the puropse of clothing is to protect the hiker from the elements, he quit wearing those too.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Why can't mountain bikers EVER tell the truth??? |

The author has included an entire chapter on horse related human deaths in the park; and in it, mountain bikers aren't mentioned once. I know you'd rather change the subject, because you were caught LYING -- the mountain bikers' stock in trade. Mountain biking requires a helmet because it is inherently dangerous. Horseback riding is NOT inherently dangerous. Horses are smarter than mountain bikers, and don't seek out dangerous situations, as mountain bikers DO. Face the FACTS, dumdum. |

QED The International Federation for Equestrian Sports REQUIRES helmets for competition. We aren't talking about competion, dum dum. We are talking about normal riding on trails.
