My husband and I really care about the environment, and about showing that mtbing isn't about trashing everything in sight with brainless abandon. I know I shouldn't steriotype, but there is type of personality that goes along with "I'll do what I want and I don't give a d@mn what or who I hurt" and that personality (in my limited local experience) has been exclusively male. I'm sure there are some brain dead females out there that fit the description too. But I'd say the majority do care (people in general). But it is really sad and makes a bad name for the mtb community.
