Feels good MOST days at least. Bad day fishing is better than a good day at
work analogy works for riding, too.
But your point is why I don't get all preachy-preachy about it. Just my
personal kick. The advocacy is the real issue. Where I live (northern
Midwest), there is a hardscrabble and fought for relationship between
advocates, trail builders, and parks departments. E bikes have popped up in
conversations with local groups, and for the most part are shunned at worst,
and apprehensively discussed at best. It won't take much to get a trail made
illegal on county land, mostly because the MTB tracks that have been developed
are still eyed by many within the county seats and other (admittedly anti-MTB)
advocacy groups as being suspect to the park system. The potential for user
conflict, if not irritation, is tenuously high.
The situation in BC is a good bit different than what I experience. But that's
why i frequent this site, to gain insights to apply to my local environment.
It's always good to put on another person's head for a second to see how they
see things. The boards on NSMB tend to not run as hot and insipid as some
other sites. People actually discuss things civilly. Kudos to that.
