We've maintained a formal relationship with the U.S. Forest Service since 1994 that was recently renewed through a new Memorandum of Understanding. We've been working closely with the Bureau of Land Management since 1990, and recently affirmed this partnership with a new multi-year assistance agreement. Off-pavement bicycling is still restricted in many National Parks, but we've been working with NPS management and field personnel to increase dirt riding opportunities. The U.S. Congress, which determines federal agency funding for transportation and trails, also shapes the future of mountain biking on U.S. public land. Bikes And Transportation Bicycles, especially mountain bikes, can be a crucial part of transportation solutions.
Many trails offer both transporation and recreation opportunities.
IMBA helps to promote bicycling as transportation through the Bikes Belong campaign, a national project involving many bicycling organizations and companies.
