Is Mike Andaman finally dead?
One last point to end the thread. It appears, Ed, that you are, to a large degree, somewhat typical of a certain type of hiker.
Quoting from http://www.mbosc.org/Impacts/summary.html "5.3 Social Impacts of Mountain Biking Recreation conflict is a more complex phenomena than simply a case of "one activity versus another". There are a number of reasons which are usually given for disapproving of mountain bikes in off-road (track) settings. From consideration of all the studies and references available, these subjective reasons can generally be summarised as: · Perceptions of greater environmental impacts and damage from mountain biking. · Safety hazards of fast and silent mountain bikes. · Attitudes that mountain biking is an inappropriate activity in the environment. · Perceptions that mountain bikes encroach upon walking opportunities. · Perceptions that mountain bikers are less interested in the setting and environment. · A general dislike of mountain bikes and what they are perceived to represent. In summary, these reasons can categorised as: · Perceptions of environmental impacts. · Perceptions of safety hazards. · Perceptions that mountain biking is "inappropriate". " However, the paper then goes on to point out that, in the main, these are PERCEPTUAL rather than ACTUAL issues. |
