I totally agree; a hiker and/or mountain biker will have no more impact than the indigenous fauna; e.g., the only remnants of their passing are tracks in the dirt and results from the ocassional trip to the bush toilet.
This is why we must lobby for the biggest legal distinction to be motorized - versus - nonmotorized, as opposed to vehicles - versus - hikers. However, as long as some mountain bikers intimidate hikers, we will have an uphill (so to speak) fight for access.
