All recreations have to be managed sensibly ... but that means
pragmatic solutions to individual circumstances ... not messianic proclamations
!

If recreations are sufficiently different from one another,
there is absolutely no way to combine them. Each recreation needs it own trails.
That is the "pragmatic solution" which is apparent to all but the blind, deaf
and dumb mountain bikers.

Why Ed ? There is no reason whatsoever why most trails can't be shared. Sharing works fine in most places. The videos you posted show the completely ridiculous nature of your position; you would advocate creating new trails when those videos clearly show that the existing ones are very lightly trafficked with hardly any conflict.

Ed, YOU posted these links. Are they not representative of
reality now ? If so, why did you post them ?

The thousands of videos that you will see on YouTube are
representative. I no long bother looking at them they are so g.d.
idiotic.

You are going in circles. You posted videos then decided you didn't like what they showed so you want to refer to some amorphous 'other' ones on YouTube. Your case is completely shot. Why do you keep posting 'evidence' that doesn't support your propositions ?

What bit of "stop within the distance you can see to be clear" was
unclear Ed ? If the sightline is practically nil then the speed needs to
be that much slower. If it's a long way ahead then speed can be much
higher. Simple.

Nothing is ever simple when you have testosterone prone
mountain bikers hogging the trails.

Ah, and back to ad hominem attacks rather than facts. I would also note that, bereft testosterone, the human race would have died out. You do sound like a rather bitter old man; did you never live a little when younger ?

Oh do stop going in circles ... it's very tiresome. I've
addressed this issue ad nauseum. If power, speed, weight, noise and
environmental damage differences between powered trail bikes and mountain bikes
are not obvious to you then you need glasses and a hearing aid.

If power, speed, weight, noise and environmental damage differences between
mountain bikes and people walking are not obvious to you then you need glasses
and a hearing aid. The only tiresome bore here is you.

Power; exactly the same (1 human power = approx 750 watts max)
Speed; Approximately 2x on average
Weight; Approx 15% higher for biker
Noise; equivalent
Environmental impact; equivalent

The facts, as usual, don't support you Ed.

Mountain bikers are barbarians ... rant snipped

Do stop with the ranting ... makes you look very foolish.
