I’m a hardcore mountain biker and don’t want bikes of any kind in wilderness, let’s keep it that way. It’s not like there is a shortage of places that a bike, an Ebike, or a gasoline powered mechanical devise can go out here in the west. I’m guessing Mr. Ebikeruler missed out on the idea of what a wilderness area is all about. Yup, he missed it.Mountain bikes are not banned in the original Wilderness mandate, although the Sierra Club and Wilderness Society tried hard to get them banned back then. The ban on bikes was tacked on in the 80's when the original signers of the Wilderness Act were no longer around to cry foul. The orwellian association of bikes with mechanized and mechanical is how the Sierra Club and Wilderness Society are covering their tracks to make it seem like banning bikes was always part of the Wilderness Act.
