Actually when I originally phrased the question, I was referring to
nonmotorized mountain bikes.  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.
