text: Sure.  Just don't expect me not to object when your "recreational choice" is prioritized over public safety and wildlife conservation.  None of these selfish, narcissistic, spandex-wearing idiots has yet addressed the realities that (1) their behavior is contrary to safe practice while traveling in bear habitat, (2) the result of every adverse encounter between bears and humans--regardless the outcome for the human--is that the bear is shot, and (3) recklessly startling large wild animals endangers others in the area--hikers, fishermen etc., not just bikers on the trail.  Is your "choice" worth a father and child being mauled when the bear you've provoked into attacking you suddenly encounters them afterwards?
  
  You pretend not to care if a bear attacks you.  Frankly, I don't care if a bear attacks you, either--as long as you are the only one who's harmed.  That's just natural selection at work.  Unfortunately your recklessness harms others--both humans and bears.
