Why Bikes and Cars Should Be Banned On Ninety Mile Beach

 Why Bikes and Cars Should Be Banned On Ninety Mile Beach 

I strongly disagree that bikes and cars should be banned on the 90-mile beach. 

We all know that we can go way faster in a car, for example, if you had to walk all the way to the beach, by the time you got there it would be dark.

Only a fool would think that cars and bikes should be banned on the 90-mile beach because we won’t be able to go camping. We won’t be able to carry all our camping gear. We also wouldn’t be able to get to our camping spots as it will be way too far to walk with all our equipment.

Surely you would agree that cars and bikes should not be banned on 90

mile beach because there are no other places to ride bikes. Where else would we possibly go if they were banned on the 90-mile beach?

This is why I think cars and bikes should not be banned from 90

Mile beach.
