Default More Expansion of Mountain Biking Planned for National Parks

This is very good news. Park rangers and wildlife experts know that
mountain biking builds the constituency for parks and it has been proven
that mountain biking has no more impact than hiking, and far less impact
than equestrian use. See
http://www.americantrails.org/resources/ManageMaintain/WKeenImpacts.html
for details.

Hogwash! This guy is a mountain biker and a trail-builder, not a scientist! "Unfortunately the document does not really site [sic] any specific research or studies in forming this conclusion". For the REAL science, see http://mjvande.nfshost.com/scb7.htm.

The jail he was in is pretty infamous. He is probably not going to
commit any more crimes that land him back there that's for sure.

I didn't commit any crimes, which is why all charges were dismissed on 3/26/13. Thanks for demonstrating just how DISHONEST mountain bikers are.

Hogwash. This was written by an attention-starved layman with no relevant peer-reviewed journal publications who cherry-picks, misquotes and alters context to make his points.

For REAL science go... Basically anywhere else.

For the record, Vandeman is lying (again) about all charges being
dismissed. In fact he was guilty of three out of six of the misdemeanor
charges. He got off lightly: the eight days he spent in jail plus 30
days on the Alameda County sheriff's Work Alternative Program. He's also
on probation for three years and not permitted on certain area trails.
Of course U.C. could choose to ban him from their property even after
the probation is over.

Despite all the rhetoric you see from him on Usenet, the chance of him
re-offending is probably very small. He got off lightly because he had
no previous criminal record. If he re-offends he won't be so lucky.

The key thing that the judge should have ordered is to have him attend
classes to learn about wilderness preservation, trail use impacts, etc.
He has no knowledge of any of these subjects.
