These are the ones people have been discussing in this group. The discussions have been about using them to get to work instead of a regular bike because of pot holes, weather etc. I was curious if these people had used these bikes on trails and what others felt about that. The Sierra Club article dealt with these types of bikes; they were under study as to their ecological effects. The Sierra Club already takes a dim view of motorized bikes on trails. I can see now I should have been clearer in what I meant by mountain bike. Nick Y {hplabs|fortune|ios|tolerant|allegra|tymix}!oliveb!nick
