You
may be familiar with the physical challenge of mountain biking.
Now think about another challenge your responsibility as a public
land user to protect the environment and the rights of other
users. Mountain biking is only one of a variety of uses on public
lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Future opportunities
for exciting travel with your mountain bike are in your hand,
so please observe a few common courtesy rules.
- Ride
on open trails only: All roads and trails on public
land are available for mountain biking unless designated
closed or in a wilderness area. Respect road and trail closures
(ask if not sure) and avoid possible trespass on private
lands.
- Practice
low impact cycling: Please be sensitive to the
resources stay on the trail and do not create new trails.
Avoid skidding or spinning your wheels. Do not ride under
conditions that would leave evidence of your passing such
as wet and muddy trails. There is no garbage collection,
so pack out at least as much as you pack in. Leave gates
as you find them (open or closed).
- Control
your bicycle: Pay attention to the trail and surroundings
to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Always remain in complete
control of your bicycle.
Always yield the trail: Make known your approach to other
trail users well in advance. A friendly greeting or bell
is considerate and works well. Show your respect by slowing
down when passing or stopping to let others pass. Anticipate
that other users may be around corners or in blind spots.
Downhill riders should yield to uphill riders. Be aware
that motorized vehicles may be on multi purpose roads or
trails.
Be careful around animals: Mountain bikes are relatively
slow and quiet allowing the rider to see wildlife unnoticed
by passengers in motorized vehicles. However, livestock
and wildlife are startled by a unannounced approach, a sudden
movement or a loud noise. This can be dangerous to you or
others. Give animals extra room and time to adjust to you.
When passing horseback groups, use special care and follow
the directions of the riders. Chasing cattle and disturbing
wild animals are serious offenses.
- Plan
your trip: Always be self sufficient. There are
no services or visitor amenities available on the Strip.
Keep your machine in good condition, take the right maps
and carry necessary supplies for changes in weather or other
conditions. A little planning is well worth the effort to
make for an enjoyable trip.
