So now the ban on snowmobiles in National Parks has been overturned...... but MOUNTAIN BIKES ARE STILL BANNED. Can someone smarter than me explain that logic?

Obviously the MTB lobby sucks compare to the snowmobile lobby.

Dude - we can't use motored equipment where I am steward from March thru July. You can, however, buzz trees with helicopters, drive all over the place to watch the birds, shoot howitzers across the road, or shoot paint ball guns 50 ft from the area. You just can't do trail work.

it is because snowmobiles (while i dont approve of them at all) dont do very much eriosiion, because there tearing up snow cover, but they do make lots of noise and pollute, i dont think id have a problem wiht them if they had 60 hrs power 4 stroke engines that are very noisless, instead they are 150horse power machines with noisy expansion muffler and 2 stokes.

Mt bikes aren't banned in National Parks...... but why in God's name would you want to ride your mt bike on the road?

BTW - I think if you look at the rule, snowmachines are going to be "re-allowed" into the parks and I'm pretty sure they have to remain on roadways.
