I laugh because I'll bet many of the mountain bikers that are now freaking were in forefront to get these "wilderness" designations in the first place and to ban activities they didn't like in those areas

Mountain bikers have been fighting for places to ride ever since the first mountain bikes were created. Hikers and horse back riders have been unwilling to share trails with them from the start.

Qft. I used to mountain bike back around 1990-95. Horses on the trail would sometimes freak out at a moving bike. And the rider would look at us like it was somehow our fault that their animal was skittish.
