BS. (1) You took it out of context. (2) You can't read. Here's the real quote. As you can see, I was just reporting what mountain bikers SAY. They SAY they "enjoy nature", but it's obviously not true. People who enjoy nature don't speed through it on a bike, shredding the trails as they go. Try as you might, you won't find any lies, because I was raised to always tell the truth. So were you, but you CHOOSE to lie, in order to shield your destructive sport from the truth.
"I don't agree that there is any worthless land. ALL land was once
valuable habitat. But what you point out has become an oft-used
rationalization for more destruction: "It is already messed up, so
THAT makes it okay to mess it up some more"! That is not logic. It
seems to me that it would make even more sense to say "It is messed
up, so let's RESTORE it to useful habitat", or something else useful.
It sounds logical that they would be satisfied, building their own
mountain biking "park". But it's not true, for two reasons: (1) most
of them enjoy being in nature. It's a MAJOR component of the sport.
Especially, exploring NEW territory. (2) Due to the speed at which
they ride, they don't really experience the land that they travel
through, in more than a superficial way. Consequently, they are soon
bored with any given trail, and are hankering for another one. They
CONSUME nature.
They ALREADY have a legal alternative: ride on existing roads! I don't
see why the public (and NATURE) should be obliged to provide a
continually expanding arena for people to play whatever destructive
game they can think up. Do you?"
