It is discussions like these that we'll be able to look back upon and take a bit of solace that maybe we were able to add just a touch of gravity to our decisions and influence as mountain bikers in some small way. I've been fairly pessimistic lately about MTB's impact in a greater sense, and it doesn't sit well with me that just because we're playing on bikes, that we can't also assume a sense of responsibility about wider issues.
This discussion and others lately are restoring a bit of that confidence, but there's a lot of work to do.
