Oh, I get it. So I've probably been doing more harm than good by riding my Snapper mower to the base of my tree all these years. Thanks for the info guys.

...but yeah, in the right scenario, bikes are a good way to cover ground faster. I've never done it, but I know of a public place nearby where the roads are shut off during deer season, and biking it in would be a great way to go, it's in my plans for the future.
