[pct-l] Forest Service rejects efforts to rescind or restrict ban on mountain bikes on PCT!

[Seth Jacobs]

There's no comparison between horses and mountain bikes on the trail.  They
are very different in every measure.

The day I have to worry about horses coming up behind me, silently, at 35
mph (or more), is the day I  oppose horses on the trail.  Not before.
