Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: In the past years a lot of new kinds of sport were discovered as a form of outdoor recreation. Today the traditional walker has to share the tracks with a lot of other user groups. At present shared tracks often lead to conflicts between the old and the new user groups. One of the new groups is the Mountain Bike (MTB) group. Mountain biking seems to be the new wave sport of the nineties, but it all started in the early to mid 1970 s with a few enthusiasts in the US. It became established internationally in the early 1980 s. Mountain bikes began to appear in New Zealand from the mid 1980 s, and since then are growing in popularity among all ages and genders. The popularity of the MTB is now changing the recreational patterns of the traditional outdoor user groups. A discernible number of people who have traditionally been walkers/trampers have now often changed their outdoor recreation use from walking to biking. This new type of track use seems to create conflicts in a social and physical way, and it appears that there are some problems between walkers/trampers and mountain bikers. To get all these information different questionnaires were designed, adequate for every user group.

Download or read book An Ill founded Monopoly written by Pete McDonald and published by Pete McDonald. This book was released on 2003-12-01 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'An Ill-founded Monopoly' was a submission to the Draft General Policy National Parks Act of August 2003. The submission argued that mountain-biking was a healthy, unintrusive, and nonpolluting outdoor recreation, compatible with the fundamental principles of the National Parks Act 1980, especially Section 4, which stated that parks should 'be maintained in natural state, and public to have right of entry'. Therefore, it argued, the General Policy should recognise mountain-biking as a permissible recreation within national parks, on designated tracks..

Download or read book Mountain Biking Culture and Society written by Jim Cherrington and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-15 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the first critical examination of the social, cultural, and political significance of mountain biking in contemporary societies. Starting from the premise that cultures of mountain biking are diverse, complex, and at times contradictory, this book offers practical and theoretical insights into a range of embodied, material, and socio-technical relationships. Featuring contributions from an interdisciplinary team of researchers, artists, and (Indigenous) community members with backgrounds in sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, community development, and coaching, chapters critically unpack the complex and contested nature of mountain biking identities, bodies, environments, and inequalities within specific settings. Via a range of international case studies from England, Scotland, America, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa, authors highlight how tensions and conflicts in the world of mountain biking initiate important conversations about climate change, colonialism, discrimination, and land-use. This is essential reading for academics and practitioners in sociology, cultural studies, sport-for-development, and human geography.
