More Expansion of Mountain Biking Planned for National Parks
http://www.ohio.com/news/mountain-biking-water-trail-for-paddlers-are-elements-of-final-trail-plan-in-cuyahoga-valley-1.394590
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. |

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. |

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. |

Thanks for demonstrating just how DISHONEST mountain bikers are.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - So how was jail? 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. |
