Ever wonder how mountain bike access in your state compares to others? This spring, IMBA will release the first national mountain bike access report card - a state-by-state snapshot of mountain bike trail access in the U.S. and Canada.

Created by IMBA state reps and local experts - the folks working on the ground to keep trails open - the IMBA Report Card will provide key information about trail access, highlight the challenges facing our sport, and assign an overall letter grade to each state and province that will serve as a benchmark for future advocacy efforts.

The Report Card will serve as a concise reference for cyclists, advocates, land managers, industry representatives and the media. The IMBA Report Card will be updated each year. Hopefully we'll see higher grades over time. If you're interested in providing input on your state, contact IMBA at and give us your ideas.
