BCHA will present a webinar regarding e-bike use on non-motorized trails on October 22nd at 10am Mountain Time.
The webinar will include information about:
- How electric motorized bicycles (e-bikes) represent a potential safety hazard to equestrians on trails, and
- How your chapter might prepare to respond to proposals by public land management agencies to add e-bike use on non-motorized trails.
We’ll offer hints on how to identify an e-bike in the field (hint: it’s not easy) and provide examples from BCHA’s success to date to challenge poorly conceived e-bike proposals on two national forests in the Southwestern U.S. Proposals to add e-bike use on non-motorized trails are accelerating across the country. BCHA chapters must be prepared to engage in constructive dialogue with agencies and other trail partners in order to defend trails important to horsemen.
The webinar is sponsored by BCHA’s Education Committee and Public Lands Committee.
