"Managing Mountain Biking is the answer to questions land managers ask or will be asking about bicycles on their trails."
-- Jim Hasenauer, IMBA founder and IMBA president from 1991-1996.
"Managing Mountain Biking continues the IMBA tradition of providing first-rate guidance for developing skilled stakeholders and effective constructive advocates for recreational bicycling. It is an excellent reference that should be on every Rec Manager's bookshelf. "
-- Rick Potts, Chief, U.S. National Park Service, Wilderness Stewardship & Recreation Management Division
"IMBA's book covers the major issues that land managers face, from user conflicts to partnerships. It is overflowing with good examples and photos of working trail prescriptions. IMBA has earned a place amongs my favorite trail references."
-- Garrett Villanueva, Civil Engineer, U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit
"Apart from being a great read, the book is a fantastic package to present to land managers. Providing our local environmental officer with a copy of Trails Solutions several months ago oiled the wheels but handing over a copy of Managing Mountain Biking swung the deal with the land board."
-- Peter McLean, Townsville, Australia
"In 30 years, mountain bicycling has become one of the most popular forms of outdoor recreation. Land managers, planners and riders themselves will find Managing Mountain Biking to be a comprehensive guide to effective and sustainable management of bicycles on trails."

"Perhaps the best thing I can say about this book is that every trail problem I've ever encountered, from user conflicts to erosion to trouble finding enough volunteers to reluctant property managers, is specifically addressed somewhere. Every trail organization should have a copy in its library. This book is that good."
