At a local (Puget Sound Group) Sierra Club Wilderness Committee meeting
earlier this week, I happened to bring up the question since mountain
bikes look like fun and a good means of handling long, flat approach trails
with none of the obnoxious noise and smoke their motorized cousins emit.
The answer I got was the bikes should be barred from Wilderness Areas.
The answer isn't quite as definite in other National Forest-adminstrated
land.  The bikes are new enough that I think the issue hasn't been
completely thought out.
