In Moab, Mountain Bikers vs Motorheads

Last month’s annual Jeep safari drew 5,000 four-wheel-drive vehicles to the dusty desert town of Moab, whose population is just about that.  When they drove away, they left behind a smoldering debate over which sporty group the town should make more welcome: the recently arrived four-wheelers, or the mountain bikers who have been the town’s golden goose since the uranium miners pulled out four decades ago. The New York Times reports that some residents worry that the mountain-bike crowd might be chased away if the town becomes too closely identified with the “motorheads,” as many people here call the gas-burning backcountry contingent, and that too many heavy-tread tires in the backcountry could devastate the landscape for everyone.
