I wonder if that's true. It's incredible how deep chutes get dug on heavily used mountain bike trails. They might contribute more heavily to erosion because the surface area is so much smaller. Sort of how a woman in high heels has more pounds per square feet exerted compared to an elephant. Also probably depends on the terrain.
