I think there's no doubt anymore that mountain biking brings a net positive to the North Shore, whether you want to measure that in social impact or economic impact. Plus I agree that we've reached a point where we (mtb'ers) have to be considered more carefully. However, the reach public rec has far outstrips that of mtb'ing - it's not even close. We are still a fairly small drop in the public recreation bucket.
