Done-here is what I submitted Where do I start. I am certainly all for progress and commerce, but seriously in a province that wants to pretend to pride itself on being an environmental leader BC seems to continually fall well short. People like to have easy access to outdoor space, and being an avid mountain bike rider I moved here from ontario to be part of that community. It seems though as time goes on there are less and less places to ride close to home. Burning more expensive fuel to drive to trail heads seems to miss the point of the sport I love. It's even more sad to think that in ontario I had access to more trails within a 20min drive from anywhere in the toronto area, and in the lower mainland we are forced to drive further and further to get out for a ride. We seem to have missed the boat on the term 'conservation area' in the lower mainland in favour of townhouses and industrial parks.
