  7. Equal Access to Our Parks for Bulldozer Racing
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 1999
    Tthere have been some problems, such as some people riding recklessly, going off the designated trails, and even secretly constructing illegal trails. But those are a small minority of bulldozer riders. You shouldn't allow a small minority to give the majority of us bulldozer racers, who ride responsibly, a bad name. Why should we be punished, just because of them, and be forced to walk, just like everybody else?

  9. The Impacts of Mountain Biking on Wildlife and People
    A Review of the Literature

    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2004
    It is clear that mountain biking is harmful to some wildlife and people. No one, even mountain bikers, tries to deny that. Bikes create V-shaped ruts in trails, throw dirt to the outside on turns, crush small plants and animals on and under the trail, facilitate increased levels of human access into wildlife habitat, and drive other trail users (many of whom are seeking the tranquility and primitiveness of natural surroundings) out of the parks.

    Why do people mountain bike, and what harms does it do?

  13. The Psychology of Mountain Biking
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2000
    The first thing one notices about mountain bikers is that they lie continually.
  14. Trail Damage Caused by Irresponsible Mountain Bikers
    Resource Type: Article
    The damage caused by each mountain biker is much greater than that caused by a hiker, firstly because of the extra weight of the bike, and secondly because the soil is impacted continuously along the trail, while a hiker's feet hit the soil only at intervals.
  15. Walkerton Tragedy
    Connexipedia Article

    Resource Type: Article
    Brief overview of the Walkerton water contamination incident.
  16. Why Detroit Needs Justice and CPR
    Against The Current vol. 88

    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2000
    If anyone doubts that the modern American City has become the center of all forms of oppression, consider the list of injustices that Detroit residents confront everyday in a city governed by African Americans. Although Brush Park residents were granted funds for renovation some five years ago, the city has taken the money from the senior citizens and transferred it to the big developers and city attorneys to help evict the seniors.
  17. Why Off-Road Bicycling Should be Prohibited
    The Effects of Mountain Biking on Wildlife and People

    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 1997
    To most environmentalists, bicycles have always been the epitome of good. We are so used to comparing bikes to cars, that it never occurred to us that the bicycle would be ever used for anything bad. Indeed, replacing motor vehicles with bicycles deserves our adoration. But anything can be used for good or evil, and using bikes to expand human domination of wildlife habitat is clearly harmful.
  18. Wildlife Need Habitat Off-Limits To Humans!
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2009
    Environmentalism can most simply be defined as the extension of the Golden Rule to include other species. Wildlife must be given top priority, because they can't protect themselves from us.

Mission Connexions exists to support individuals and groups working for freedom and social justice. We work to maintain and make available a record of the theory and practice of people struggling against oppression and for social change. We believe that the more we know about the struggles, victories, and defeats of the past, and about those who took part in them, the better equipped we will be to bring a new world into being. Connexions maintains a physical archive of books and documents, and is engaged in an ongoing project to build and expand an indexed digital archive of documents. We try to feature a wide variety of resources reflecting a diversity of viewpoints and approaches to social change within our overall mandate of support for democracy, civil liberties, freedom of expression, universal human rights, secularism, equality, economic justice, environmental responsibility, and the creation and preservation of community. We are internationalist in our orientation, but as a Canadian-based project we feature an especially extensive collection of Canadian documents and profiles of Canadian activist organizations.
