Should Motorbikes Be Banned In Public Places?

Last Sunday, I was out on the usual Sunday cycle with friends when 7 monster motorbikes came roaring past and up the steep muddy hill that we was cycling down. It was only when we had to pedal downhill through the churned up tracks of the motorbikes that I realised the problems that motorbikes cause. At that moment I began to ask myself should there be a ban on motorbikes in public places; or is it too late?

I have arrived at the conclusion that motorbikes should be banned because they damage the ground on which they ride, if they are ridden irresponsibly. This makes walking, cycling and other activities un-enjoyable. It also causes a big expense for places such as the 'Brecon Beacons' National Park because at present they have to embark on a £90,000 project to repair the damage caused by motorbikes. The 'Pennine Way' in Pen-y-Ghent area has spent six million pounds to helicopter in stone to stop motorbikes from riding in certain areas. Finally the 'Lake District' has spent one million pounds on repairing footpaths that have been ripped up by motorbikes.
