Hiley’s group had no choice but to hike more than two miles back to their cars - in cycling shoes.
Their bikes were confiscated and they will be fined - their claim is they didn’t see any signs to stop them, despite warnings from bike groups and the Marines. Being bikers, they do not mind cycling through or near live fire exercises since they are immortal and liberals making them immune to such things.
I can understand turning folks around, and explaining the situation. Better signage would work, too. What I don’t understand is confiscating bicycles. Do they confiscate backpacks of hikers? That’s their gear. How do they get away with taking the bikes?
You want to hike or bike on a Marine trail on a Marine base?
Then join the Marines.
Actually, I can give many examples of where military bases have preserved their land to such a excellent extent that liberal hate-everything-military types want to turn them into nature reserves because everything around the bases has been developed.
Now the Feds have gone and done it.
It wasn’t a problem upsetting the ranchers with their extensive Western land holdings and heavy handed methods, but now they’ve upset the cycling crowd! Watch out!!
Know the area and the bikers were just trying to get away with this. They knew darned good and well where they were.
I would think a base would at least have a fence or something.
excuse me.... where is the due process and how are the “marines” judge, jury and executioner... and where was notice given to KEEP OUT and what are they doing with the bikes...??????
THE CO OF THE BASE OUGHT OT BE BOOTED OUT OF THE MILITARY for BEING AN ASSHOLE
a soldier is under ucmj BUT NOT A CITIZEN
I SUPPORT OUR TROOPS BUT THIS PURE BULL EXCREMENT AND SOME SELF PLEASURING JERK FLEXING HIS NUTS.... AND THEY SHOUDL BE CRUSHED.......
ASAP
this reminds me of when some ahole MP’s chased me on a base in nam and said i went thru a red light.... at 3 am.... wtf.... some of these boys need to wake the f up...wanna flex nuts..... get your rear to a combat zone....
I’ve run across those types of bikers - even at a trail head that states: No Bikes they get mad if you don’t get off the trail to let them by. Some trails are fragile and those knobby tires just chew them up; there’s a reason bikes are banned but liberal special citizens ignore them because they’re special.
