Attention Mountain Biker: The National Park Service Wants to Hear from You!
On March 9, 2007, the National Park Service (NPS) announced a nationwide series of public meetings where citizens will provide input on how national parks should be managed. IMBA urges mountain bikers to attend the listening sessions, in order to strengthen the productive relationship that mountain bicyclists have forged with the NPS, and to ask for increased bicycling opportunities in national parks for decades to come.
