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

species. Sadly, we very seldom hear the beautiful song of the Wood

White Tailed Deer need to be controlled. But the "They're so pretty!"

Guess you need Wolves!

 We do! We now have coyotes in the area, but they're not keeping up with their work.
 

That's because it's easier to raid suburban trash cans.
