Scotland has 7Stanes; Northern Ireland has SodAll

Is the headline BikeBiz.co.uk, the UK's biggest cycle trade website used to carry news about recent developments here regarding Forests Service's refusal to allow purpose built trails in our Forests.

BikeBiz.co.uk, which is one of the leading international cycle trade websites is read by thousands of people each day from around the world, all levels of cycle trade workers read it, from the Saturday lad in local bike shops to chairman of some of the biggest cycle manufacturers on the planet. It regulary appears in the top five of the UK's busiest cycle websites.

Whilst the bulk of the site is trade only the news page, which carries articles from around the world, is open to all.

The news about Forest Service reached Bikebiz.co.uk yesterday and after speaking with MTBrider regular and local bike shop owner Steve B, a full article went live this morning.

This is expected to be only the beginning of a long running campaign to bring our plight to a much larger, international audience.

Imagine talks in Northern Ireland breaking down.

If it wasnt for the fact that everyone that runs this place is power-hungry itd be a great place to live. Its the same with all 'local groups' here, who want people to think they are someone by imposing themselves on the rest of us so we'll show them some respect.

Someone gets in a position of power, but wont work with or accept advice or suggestions from other partys because that would make them look weak, and as if they werent the ones making the calls. So instead they run the place into the ground with ill-advised ideas.

But hey, theyre the ones in power, getting the big bucks, and if you dont like it you can just go and jump (or not as the case may be).

He/She/They are the the voice of the club, a bit like the editorial column in papers... I think.
