Bill > S605

This bill, the Biking on Long-Distance Trails Act, requires the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture to identify at least 10 long-distance bike trails and 10 areas with opportunities to develop or complete such trails on federal recreational lands and waters. The bill defines a long-distance bike trail as a continuous route of at least 80 miles that can be used for various types of biking, such as mountain biking, bikepacking, and bicycle touring. The Secretaries must coordinate with stakeholders, avoid conflicts with other uses like horseback riding, and publish maps, signage, and promotional materials for the identified trails. The bill also requires the Secretaries to prepare and publish a report within 2 years listing the identified long-distance bike trails.
