Read between the lines, James? Because I'm on the commission I have an ethical responsibility to report that in an opinion piece about the commission. So I did. Because I'm a professional wildlife biologist I have an ethical responsibility to point out the risk of human-wildlife encounters.  I'm not opposed to mountain biking (or singletrack), and I said in the article that we were not trying to protect bikers from themselves. So my "bias" is evident in my concern for public safety and, as I also wrote, bears. You must be awfully thin-skinned if you can't take constructive criticism.
