i think your general point of "people on the internet see one angle of a story and then kneejerk" is completely well founded and valid, it's just that the particular illustrating example is not convincing, didn't mean to come off harsh
:rat-salute:
I think I'm the one who came off harsh here, particularly to the OP. Sorry about that, @RNAi
I didn't care anyways cuz I didn't know about the turtle thing. :heart-sickle:

It's in the middle of the fucking desert so yes, it's made to exclude all people equally
ride a bike with some decent off-roady tires, probably takes 10 mins across the dirt/sand that way
taking unofficial paths by bike is real freedom in the land of crap infra that's falling apart
