Haflich) Organization: MIT, Cambridge, MA Lines: 7 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.
