From the article:

Griffin [county commish] acknowledges that many county residents are also cyclists who pay to maintain the roads, and that barring them from some roads might not go over well. But safety concerns are paramount for her.

"We want to have people enjoy our mountains and our roads, but we don't want to have someone killed doing this."
Great, another case of "cars endanger cyclists, so let's ban cyclists". I'd have more respect for the other side in these debates if they'd stop pretending they care about cyclists' safety and just admit that they find the 20 seconds it takes to pass us intolerable.
