We have all been there.  You open up your local paper or a weblink to an article and read about a mountain biking trail you have some knowledge about.  Somewhere around paragraph three your jaw drops at how much the reporter got wrong.  How did this happen?  How can a simple (seeming) story about mountain bike trails go so off the rails and come out looking like it’s a story in Pravda about capitalist pigs?

So how does this happen?

​We’ve all heard it, “I’m not an anti-mountain biker, I just think that…”  Or maybe you have heard “calling me an anti-mountain biker is a pejorative”.
That raises some questions, of course.  What is an anti-mountain biker and anti-mountain biking?  Is it a pejorative to say a person or group is anti-mountain bike?  If it is not a pejorative, why should anti-mountain biking persons and groups be correctly identified?

This article is bit longer than the post.  But there was a lot of ground to cover.

​On May 8th, 2018 the Hopkins, MN Center for the Arts hosted and interesting group.  Calling themselves Conserve Lone Lake Park, they hosted a meeting on why the citizens of neighboring Minnetonka should be opposed to the proposal for mountain biking trails in Lone Lake Park.
