More Riders. More Possibilities.
Adaptive trails & COPMOBA
What are adaptive trails?
Mountain biking looks different for everyone. For adaptive riders, the opportunity to ride can depend on trail width, surface conditions, grade, turns, and the space needed to maneuver an adaptive bike.
By considering these needs during trail planning and design, we can help reduce barriers and create more opportunities for people with disabilities to experience the outdoors.
Adaptive-friendly trails can also benefit beginning riders, young cyclists, families, and anyone looking for a more approachable place to ride.
What Makes an adaptive friendly trail?
-
Appropriate widths, manageable grades, and predictable turns can help accommodate a wider range of riding needs.
-
Trail options for different experience levels can help riders build confidence and develop their skills at their own pace.
-
More accessible riding opportunities can help individuals and families enjoy outdoor recreation together.
