[pct-l] What do you say to mountain bikers on the PCT

[marmot marmot]

This missing the point.  No one condones bad behavior by hikers. That does not mean that if hikers do something wrong we should put up with illegal mountain bike activity on the trail.  I'm sick of drunk,stupid immature hikers. It is still obvious that mtn bikes should not be on the PCT. The reasons are endless and well documented.  Marmot
