You bikers love to spread this myth about being excluded and discriminated against. Actually, bikers have EXACTLY the same rights as everybody else: you are welcome in wilderness, and nobody is allowed to bring a bike. But you bring up a good point: in many places, EVERYONE should be excluded, since certain species won't tolerate the presence of people. I presume you would be interested in helping promote such preserves? :)
