You will get in better shape, you won't be sucking dust and exhaust, you won't be destroying the landscape that you went out there to see, and most importantly, you will actually see something besides the back end of the machine in front of you. Grass, flowers, trees, it's amazing what you can see when you are going slow enough to see it. And don't tell me hikers are just the elite few. I'm old, chubby, and have a terminal illness. But I can still pick em up and put em down.
Finally, thanks for giving me the chance to go off on one of my ATV rants. It's been a few months. Now if someone would just make a comment about their MLM downline, I can get on my other soapbox.
