Creating Long-Distance Bike Trails on Federal Recreational Lands.
This bill requires federal agencies to identify and promote at least 10 existing and 10 new long-distance bike trails on federal recreational lands. Citizens will benefit from better access to formally designated routes, each at least 80 miles long, suitable for various cycling types like mountain biking and bicycle touring. The law ensures that the development of these new trails avoids conflicts with existing recreational uses, such as horseback riding.
