2 prominent members + a clash of nerves = the most exciting debate on Bikes Move Us since forever.
When I read the thread I Initially laughed at how serious and into it everyone was (hey I’m into fish tanks at the moment so I’m definitely on the outside looking in, detached and less emotional), but after reading a few posts I couldn’t help but get involved.
Here’s one guy who makes it a priority in his life to maintain the trails that mountain bike riders ride on yet he’s aggressively pointing the finger at everyone who fails to do as he does. I’m sure there are riders like myself who simply enjoy riding the trails, full stop. I absolutely respect that there are people out there who are maintaining the trails, but as I posted on another cycling forum (yes this BMU thread has spread): In the end of the day I think people like Grant (the guy who has his panties in a bunch) need to exist and I’m always up for respecting extremists (each to their own). I’m glad someone’s out there chaining themselves up to whaling boats for Greenpeace but if that person was trying to bring me down for not joining them out there they can go screw themselves.

Seems like everyone just needs a good cuddle :)
