I suppose it depends on one's locale. When I bought my first mountain bike (back when dinosaurs ruled the earth) I very soon sawed the "bullmoose" bars to make them much narrower. Our local forest preserve has some pretty dense understory.
Interestingly (and sadly) that's changed. Overpopulation of White Tailed Deer has decimated the understory, removing habitat for many understory species. Sadly, we very seldom hear the beautiful song of the Wood Thrush any more.
White Tailed Deer need to be controlled. But the "They're so pretty!" crowd has actually filed lawsuits to stop efforts to scientifically control them.
