Bah. I don’t have a car and go to national parks “nearby” (about 100 km) using my bike and one thing that I find unfortunate is the lack of public transit to those places. So usually, what one can find at the bottom of a hiking trail, is a parking full of cars.
It’s not a matter of politics but more about car culture. Like, watch any YT vlogger and most will go to their hiking trails with a car, or even a truck, exclaiming that they love nature.
Personally I have to make compromises when I invite someone hiking and/or camping. That means leaving the bike home and going to the trail or the camp site with a car. It’s unfortunate but it’s just how most people see spending time in nature.
Probably conservatives. “Why can’t we just take our trucks to wherever you’re dragging us?”
