As a member of th e Club. and a longtime mountaine er. I am mys elf opposed to
bikes going into stri ctly hiking country
becaus e th ey do di sturb th e wilderness

opinion that there ar e many who ride bikes
who ar e human being.
I just might add th at I am no longer a

Can't you e ve r get anyone to write about
this? Like Cliff Boswell in Cyc le magazine?
