National Park Service Proposes Rule Change
A proposed National Park Service (NPS) regulation change will benefit Americans by improving mountain biking experiences in national parks. The new policy would empower park superintendents to manage trails for bicycles, without sacrificing environmental review or public comment opportunities.
“Bicycling is a good fit for many national parks. It’s a quiet, low-impact, family-friendly activity that provides a great way to get adults and kids excited about exploring America’s most scenic places,” says IMBA Executive Director Mike Van Abel. “We’re very pleased that the NPS intends to update its regulations to better serve visitors.”
