This joint resolution declares June 2025 as California Mountain Biking and Trail Stewardship Month, recognizing mountain biking as a vibrant lifestyle and sport that promotes physical and mental health while contributing significantly to California's economy. The resolution highlights the diverse disciplines of mountain biking, including trail riding, cross country, and bikepacking, and emphasizes its importance as the fastest-growing high school activity that helps youth develop independence and teamwork. It acknowledges the critical role of mountain bikers in trail stewardship, noting that California has over 80 bike-friendly trail stewardship organizations that maintain thousands of miles of trails and organize community events. The resolution also points out the economic impact of mountain biking, which contributes over $2.3 billion to the state's economy and creates more than 17,000 jobs, while simultaneously promoting access to nature, ecosystem restoration, and sustainable trail design. By recognizing mountain biking during a month that includes National Trails Day (June 7) and California State Parks Week (June 11-15), the resolution aims to celebrate and support this recreational activity's broader social and environmental benefits.
