Hello,
There is a state in the south west of Germany called Baden-Wuerttemberg. You have probably heard of the Black Forest, that's in Baden-Wuerttemberg. Sadly, shredding Black Forest Gnar is currently forbidden as there is a bizarre law stating that Mountain Bikes must stick to paths of wider than 2m. This obviously rules out any sweet singletrack and sucks.
A movement is underway to try to turn this law over so that MTBers can ride as we do in the UK, a petition has been set up but 50,000 signatures are required. They're already half way there, but need more support.
Show how much you love the Germans by going to;

This is a German website, if you're on chrome browser then it will probably offer a handy translation option, but if not then here's a my translation.
Your support would be very much appreciated.
Prost!
