>The Effects of Mountain Biking on Wildlife and People -- Why Off-Road Bicycling Should be Prohibited (1997)
tl;dr mountain bikes directly and indirectly kill animals, annoy hikers and generally destroy nature
Extrapolate your opinions.

>we should be working to reduce all human access to wildlife habitat

The author is mostly on an anti-human rant and especially likes mountain biking, I don't really see anything to discuss.

>implying there's anything wrong with conservationism
There isn't. I particularly agree with this point "Parks are supposed to be a refuge from the crush of humanity and the noise, danger, and artificiality of urban areas"

The stance that any human contact is bad is not conservationism.

>recent research, and the huge scale of current recreation activities, have discredited this idea. "Traditionally, observing, feeding, and photographing wildlife were considered to be 'nonconsumptive' activities because removal of animals from their natural habitats did not occur.... nonconsumptive wildlife recreation was considered relatively benign in terms of its effects on wildlife; today, however, there is a growing recognition that wildlife-viewing recreation can have serious negative impacts on wildlife" (Knight & Gutzwiller, p.257).
it is a fact

Well, I hope you never leave urban areas then. Think of the wildlife.

Bikers aren't generally a problem to the trails unless they're retards that insist on riding in the mud and mashing it up because they derive some sick pleasure of having to thoroughly wash themselves and their bikes after every ride and ruining the trails for everyone else.

The real scourge are the horsefuckers and quad riders. Fuck those cunts, they deserve death.

Seems like the biggest opposition to mountain bikers are rich douchebags who want the trails just for riding their horses.

Unless you herd cattle, you shouldn't own a horse. And if you do, and take it out on trails, you are a massive fucking faggot who should stop being lazy and get a bike.

If these faggots actually cared they would ban horses. I used to be one of those jackasses who maintains trails and the horseback riders did way more damage in a week than the mtb guys could in a year.

That's a lot of words when you could have just said "mountain bikers"

I know guys who ride bicycles in the mountains and avoid doing that. What would you call them?

This. Horses are basically 4 pegs with more than 1200lbs behind them that fucking shred trails if they are remotely wet
