    I hate the disparaging of gatekeeping as inherently bad. Mountain biking has seen an uptick of people riding electric fat bikes, essentially just dirt bikes. It’s bad enough when beginners are using normal bikes to ride in wet muddy conditions on trails that can’t handle it or skidding into corners, it does so much more damage when they’re tearing up the trail with a heavy motorized bike with wide tires. More gatekeeping would keep the trails in better conditions.
