[pct-l] Mt. Bikes on the trail

[Slyatpct at aol.com]

Sorry, I just got back on the list and haven't read all the posts but, just  
to make things clear are you saying mountain bikes should be allowed on the 
PCT  and in designated wilderness areas?  They're hardly compatible with hiking, 
 never mind horses.  
 
If a biker wants to see the PCT it's simple, get off the bike and put on a  
backpack.

Like it  or not the wilderness changes along with the surrounding country.  
The  California  grizzly bear is only found on our state flag.  Muir hut and 
other  buildings, the signs that help guide us, even the trails we walk on are 
the  result of machines or tools.  We will only appreciate the wildness of  
nature as we interact with it, but even that interaction changes nature.   Even 
our footsteps alter the landscape.
