Bicycling EnvironmentSources.com Topic Index An Action a Day Keeps Global Capitalism Away Resource Type: Book Published: 2004 Appeasing the Mountain Bikers Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2001 Just because someone is able to purchase a machine that lets them ride off-road, that is no reason that the public should be required to provide them a place to use it. Equal Access to Our Parks for Bulldozer Racing Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 1999 Tthere have been some problems, such as some people riding recklessly, going off the designated trails, and even secretly constructing illegal trails. But those are a small minority of bulldozer riders. You shouldn't allow a small minority to give the majority of us bulldozer racers, who ride responsibly, a bad name. Why should we be punished, just because of them, and be forced to walk, just like everybody else? Gute Argumente: Verkehr Resource Type: Book Published: 1990 Informiert anschaulich and sachlich über die Grundlagen des Verkehrssystems, über the Hintergründe der auto-orientierten Gesleeschaft und uber unweltschonende und wirtschaflich vorteilhafte Alternativen. The Impacts of Mountain Biking on Wildlife and People A Review of the Literature Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2004 It is clear that mountain biking is harmful to some wildlife and people. No one, even mountain bikers, tries to deny that. Bikes create V-shaped ruts in trails, throw dirt to the outside on turns, crush small plants and animals on and under the trail, facilitate increased levels of human access into wildlife habitat, and drive other trail users (many of whom are seeking the tranquility and primitiveness of natural surroundings) out of the parks. Mountain Biking: Frequently Asked Questions Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2009 Why do people mountain bike, and what harms does it do? Pedalling Upwind Why Halting Highway Construction Belongs on the Bicyclist's Agenda Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 1992 Roads are at the crux of almost every current environmental problem, and hence, halting the expansion of the highway system (and other parts of our auto-dependent culture) is one of the most effective spigots by which we can choke off environmental destruction. Places in Need - Mountain Bike Damage Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Trails are easily and seriously degraded by mountain bike use – especially when those bikes are ridden on wet or muddy trail. The Psychology of Mountain Biking Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2000 The first thing one notices about mountain bikers is that they lie continually. Trail Damage Caused by Irresponsible Mountain Bikers Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter The damage caused by each mountain biker is much greater than that caused by a hiker, firstly because of the extra weight of the bike, and secondly because the soil is impacted continuously along the trail, while a hiker's feet hit the soil only at intervals. Transport Policy and the Environment Six Case Studies Resource Type: Book Published: 1990 The Urban Landscape A Study of Open Space in Urban Metropolitan Areas Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 1971 The Waterfront Trail Resource Type: Book Published: 1996 Why Off-Road Bicycling Should be Prohibited The Effects of Mountain Biking on Wildlife and People Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 1997 To most environmentalists, bicycles have always been the epitome of good. We are so used to comparing bikes to cars, that it never occurred to us that the bicycle would be ever used for anything bad. Indeed, replacing motor vehicles with bicycles deserves our adoration. But anything can be used for good or evil, and using bikes to expand human domination of wildlife habitat is clearly harmful.
