The sheep herders have been there for decades before you hikers and bikers and perform a useful task. Providing food and wool. You guys are there for cheap thrills. You are late on the scene. Your presumptuousness is a sight to behold

You should find a place to bike where you don’t impinge on ranchers who were there first and have roots there going back a few generations

All of us aren't bad. To use your own words, your presumptuousness is a sight to behold.

I've more than once wanted to punch out a snotty little mountain biker here in TX. I've got thousands of road miles on a bicycle, all in my younger years, and I've seen personally that many cyclists (as is obvious from this story) are jerks. But not all.

When my wife and I go to Colorado to hike, we keep to ourselves, and don't harass/mock the locals or their livestock. We move for the llamas and horses on trails. We stay on public land.

My family was a bunch of farmers in the deep South and though I'm a city boy I know how to act around livestock. And mountain lions...
