FLAME!!!:  Rolling over a few barrel cacti ... ???

Rolling a bike over *any* sort of vegetation seems insensitive to
environment.  Rolling a bike over a slow-growing cactus in the desert is
scandalous, even if accidental.  You should not use a bike in a manner
which makes these accidents likely.  I'm sorry to say this, sir, but you
seem like just the sort of clod who gives mountain bikes a bad name.
