After a big celebration of Adventure Cycling’s birthday last July, we’re gearing up for Bike Your Park Day on September 24 — celebrating our public lands and the 100-year milestone of our national parks. Join over 6,000 people in all 50 states, Washington D.C. and several countries to explore your nearby parks and public lands by bicycle, all on the same day. 

Our public lands are a special place, and even more special when explored by bike. If you're planning on riding your parks this season, here are some tips to help you prepare for your adventure.

One day. Two wheels. 8,500 parks. Celebrate Bike Your Park Day on Sept. 24, 2016.

The TransAm Bicycle Trail is a good route. With your help, we can make it into a great route!

Without the support of the Montana Bicycle Celebration’s sponsors, volunteers, and participants, the weekend would not have been such a resounding success.

More often than not, your day’s ride is obscured — by trees, mountains, or bends in a twisty road. The only way to get the grand perspective is by staring at a map. But every once in awhile you get to a vantage point where an entire day’s ride is laid out in front of you.
