Biking on Long-Distance Trails Act
This bill directs the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture to identify at least 10 existing long-distance bike trails (minimum 80 miles on federal lands) and 10 potential development areas for such trails. It requires avoiding conflicts with existing uses like horseback riding, ensuring geographic representation, and creating maps/signage for identified trails. The bill mandates a report listing all identified trails within two years of enactment. It directly affects federal land managers (National Park Service, Forest Service) and bike trail users, focusing on planning and coordination rather than funding or construction.
