I know, I know. Blah blah, advocacy blah access blah blah.
Cycling advocacy is, for most people, about as appealing as bleeding your brakes. It's messy, not all that fun, and typically you just have someone else do it for you. But there's good reason to care, as you'll learn the instant you roll into your local trail parking lot and find a fresh "closed to bikes" sign, or see a new trail open, just not to us.
Fortunately, there's not a whole lot you need to do to help prevent this kind of thing from happening. In Part I of our conversation with Jenn Dice, Government Affairs Director for IMBA, we talked about the changing political landscape in Washington and how that affects mountain bikers. Today, we've got a bona fide opportunity for you. Into the second part of our conversation:
Mountain Bike: Speaking of losing bills, let's go back to that Park Service rule that we talked about. Where are we with that? Just because the rule's been published doesn't mean it's over, right? [Editor's Note: the rule, which would allow National Park Service superintendants more autonomy and oversight in opening trails to mountain bikes, published in the Federal Register in December.]
Jenn Dice: We have a 60-day public comment period right now (it ends February 17). That is the normal process for a rule like this. What we need, we figure, is roughly 20,000 comments in support of the rule. The Park Service has really stuck its neck out on this. They analyzed the issue and put in a very thoughtful, well-written proposal. It keeps the parks protected against development, but open to visitors, and now is our time to support that. There is a chance that anti-bike groups will appeal the ruling and sue, in which case it'll go into the courts. But what we like about this is that the Park Service sees all the amazing opportunities that bikes in National Parks offer: getting kids on bikes, getting families out of their cars, building sustainable trails. We're asking a lot of them with this bill, and we need to support it.
MB: So is 20,000 comments a rule, or what IMBA feels is necessary?
JD: It's what we think is the bare minimum. We got 10,000 comments on a BLM issue a few years ago. And we know that it's effortless for some groups to get tens of thousands of comments with a single release on an issue. The Wilderness Society, PEER (Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility), these groups are big and well-funded, and organized. To bolster our case with the NPS rule, our goal is 20,000 comments in support of it.
[We break for this IMBA how-to:
-Use IMBA's web-based comment form here
-Remember that custom letters are more valuable than form letters
-Read up on the issue
-Remember to comment by February 17
-Tell your friends to comment too
We now return to our regularly scheduled inteview.]
MB: Hypothetically, what happens if we DIDN'T get those comments? Would that harm mountain biking's relationship with the NPS or other agencies?
JD: I think it would still be good, honestly. The park supervisors who understand mountain biking know what we bring to the table. The ones that don't like us, nothing would change for them under this rule anyway.
MB: The NPS rule is kind of the big headliner approach. What else is IMBA doing in 2009 to advance mountain bikers' interests?
JD: It's a two-fold approach, grassroots and the government level. On the grassroots level, we're asking for more national scenic areas. Here in Colorado for instance, we have great working relationships with a bunch of the national forest managers - in the White River, Hermosa Creek area and elsewhere - and some great success stories there. On the federal level, we're doing the same thing in the House and Senate natural resource committees, working to craft public land initiatives that protect land but allow access.
The thing is, both really work together. If we don't have success with some of our grassroots initiatives, we can't change the bigger policy. We can't just scream "No!" to Wilderness (designation). We have to have alternate solutions. We don't want to be one of those groups demanding access and screaming no at protection. Our approach is to say "We'll support Wilderness (designation) here, but a National Conservation Area is best for over here, where there's a ton of great, existing trails." There are a lot of moderate environmentalists in Congress who understand that land protection doesn't have to be at the expense of mountain biking.
MB: That can be a tough balancing act to follow. One of the challenges we face is that mountain bikes are in a gray area. We're classified as mechanized transport, but our user experience is actually a lot closer to hikers than it is to, say, motorcycles in many ways. How do you present that when working with government?
JD: It's true, we are this shade of grey. We're for bicycle-friendly land protection. We don't go "Wilderness or nothing!" and we don't demand our rights. IMBA has never worked like that. We're deliberate and thoughtful. But no, it doesn't lend itself to an easy elevator pitch. It's challenging to explain (our position).
MB: Does that effort to be flexible make the response from some critics over the NPS rule harder to understand?
JD: We have positive working relationships with some of these organizations like PEER and the Wilderness Society in states like Colorado, Oregon and West Virginia. We're working through some challenging situations there. So seeing them get upset over opening more trails in the National Parks to mountain bikes has been kind of shocking. We're a conservation partner and we want to work together with them, but they're choosing to create a huge battle for us when we should be working together.
MB: It also seems like some of the rhetoric is dated. Looking at IMBA's and PEER's statements on the proposed trail at Big Bend National Park, I'm really struck by the difference in language. IMBA talks about sustainable, shared-use trail, while PEER characterizes it as a bicycle-specific BMX-style trail. Do you get that kind of response a lot? How do you get past it?
JD: I think some of it is willful ignorance. We need to influence people to look at their national forests, or state parks, or urban trails, and see how hikers and equestrians and mountain bikers can all get along. There are literally thousands of examples of success stories across the nation. We've come so far in 30-plus years of mountain biking and 20 years of IMBA. Land managers now understand shared use, and sustainable trails. The National Park Service managers are smart people; they're not going to authorize anything that's going to damage a trail. And hell would freeze over before we built anything extreme at a National Park.

A first look at Valve's gamer Linux SteamOS
Steam Engine
Valve has big plans for SteamOS, the new Linux that will run on the first generation of Steam machine gaming consoles.
Valve's Steam game platform has stirred up much discussion in the Linux gaming community since it was first ported to Linux two years ago. Like other popular game platforms, Valve is not just a developer tool, but also a distribution system, digital rights management framework, and communication tool designed to offer a complete, self-contained gaming universe.
According to Valve, the Steam platform now supports "over 2000 games from Action to Indie and everything in between." The community consists of more than six million online gamers.
Steam for Windows has been around since 2003, and Mac OS support first appeared in 2010. Linux came later, but since the arrival of the first Linux version in 2012, Valve has pushed swiftly into the Linux space. The reasons for this strong Linux emphasis became clear when Valve announced it was working on a hardware gaming console, which would be known as the Steam machine. What operating system would run on the Steam machine? Valve would need a system it could shape to its own needs – and develop free from the business agendas of closed-source OS vendors. They knew they would need to build their system on Linux.

After several thousand rounds through it, my wife's primary carry piece, a nine-year-old Kel-Tec P-32, began exhibiting failures to fire at the range. It started with one or two per 50-round session, then worsened to a couple per mag. It was no longer dependable for her to carry. This was over a period of about a couple weeks or so. Prior to this point, the fail to fire issues were with cheap ammo. This little gun is picky about ammo sometimes.
Well, I took it home and began to completely strip it. I loosened the firing pin retaining screw, turned the slide up, and the firing pin fell out - IN TWO PIECES. Yup, broken firing pin. The ends of both pieces were peened over where they had been hitting through who knows how many rounds - and STILL FIRING the rounds 90% of the time! This is one tough, reliable little gun!
I emailed Kel-Tec's Customer Service, gave them the serial number of the gun, told them the problem, and asked if this was a warranty issue. I asked them, whether it was or not, if they would send me a new firing pin for self-replacement. I told them if it wasn't under warranty that I'd be glad to pay for a new pin - let me know.
A few days later, I received an eMail reply informing me that the pin was, indeed, under warranty and they would be most happy to send me a new pin. Five days later, I received a small bubble envelope from Kel-Tec which contained a new firing pin and spring. It took about 10 minutes to install, and we're headed to the range this afternoon for testing.
People can say what they want about Kel-Tec, but my wife and I are happy as clams with that P-32. How many pocket semis would continue to function most of the time with a broken firing pin? How many companies would send a new firing pin to a private individual without the broken pin, or the whole gun, being returned to them as proof?
Both Kel-Tec and Kel-Tec's Customer Service get a BIG +100 from us!

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

This argument has its merits. But it would be more compelling if our present bout of instability didn't seem to owe so much to the sort of meritocratic vices that Kirn's memoir throws into relief. I'm thinking here of the confidence that with ambition and brainpower comes the ability to master contingency, and the chauvinism that favors the fashions of the present over the wisdom of the past. Above all, I'm thinking of the peculiar mix of entitlement and cutthroat competitiveness that makes everything—your SAT score, your college GPA, your salary, your bonus—into one more way of keeping score.
What successful meritocrats tend to have in common, Kirn suggests, is "a talent for some things, a knack for many things, and a genius for one thing: running up the count." When you consider the way the current American leadership class has acquitted itself—whether on Wall Street or in Washington—you don't have to look very hard to see these qualities at work. Maybe Abe Lincoln or Ben Franklin wouldn't have done better. But it's hard to see how they could have done much worse.
