As you know Wilderness designations close trails to bikes. And, as you also know, they also can protect the places we cherish — threats like ill-considered clear cutting, oil/gas development and mining. The good news is that IMBA has worked closely with Congressman Polis and the Hidden Gems advocates for many months. We have made HUGE progress creating a balanced land protection bill that will protect bicycling access to trails while keeping the lands around them healthy. But we cannot rest yet.
