Dear Dirt,
Resentment and hostility towards mountain bikers is a growing issue in Marin. The increasing demand for trail use by the mountain biking community has created serious opposition with hikers, equestrians, and law enforcement. These tensions have manifested both dangerous and criminal acts by both sides, including near guerilla-like warfare. The birthplace of mountain biking is suffering from a war between the status quo and the biking revolution and things are about to get ugly.
As a mountain biker I am apparently part of this problem. I have biked in Marin for twenty years and have seen an increase demand for bike-friendly trails as well as extreme opposition. I have many friends who are involved in the fight, from rogue trail builders to political committee members and am in a position to get these important perspectives written into an article for your magazine.
I can write an expository piece highlighting the issues from both sides of the argument in about 1500 words.
Thank you,
Brandon Cook
