I do not have to admit anything. Your weak attempt to turn the context into
something beyond your lack of credibility to criticize or accept real
information is pathetic. The FACT is, the real and actual information has
been gathered and reviewed by people that actually matter and the decisions
have been made and access for off-road cycling continues to grow both in
real trail use and in cooperative efforts with other organizations.
You can play your wordgames and vilify honest research all you want, but it
has had NO effect on anything but your own credibility.
