Until the 2nd of February from 11am includes one pre-selected book or toy whilst it's last.

Hey everybody, welcome to the Single Tracts podcast. Today, it's me, Greg, and I have two guests with me.

Ted Stroll, president of the Sustainable Trails Coalition, and Jackson Ratcliffe, treasurer for the STC.

Thanks for joining me today, guys. Good morning. Thank you for having us.

Today we're going to talk about mountain bikes and wilderness areas and specifically the ban on

bike use in such areas and how the Sustainable Trails Coalition is seeking to change that.

So as we get started, can you guys tell me a little bit about the STC and what you're trying to

accomplish? I'm a mountain bike advocate now for about two years. I had the opportunity to read

some of Ted's writings on the interpretation of the Wilderness Act and what its actual intent was.

And in seeing, you know, I live right near Point Reyes, which is a very urban wilderness area,

where bikes are completely banned and reading Ted's writings, I realize that there is a significant

problem. It seems that bikes are being treated like strip mining and not being seen as something comparable to riding a horse or hiking,

which ultimately we very much are.

So our goal, and we definitely want to emphasize a misconception that some people have that we are trying to overturn the Wilderness Act.

That is not by no means the case. There is a very specific

federal statute that bans bikes that is an interpretation of the Wilderness Act. And I'll let Ted

hit some of the legal aspects of this. And that is really our goal, is this one very specific

interpretation of mechanized travel.

Ted, do you want to take over?

Yeah, sure.
