  IMBA Announces Position on Proposed Wilderness
IMBA is committed to maintaining access to traditional and important bicycle trails through attention to Wilderness boundaries and the use of alternative land protection designations (e.g., National Conservation Areas, Wild and Scenic River Zones, Areas of Critical Environmental Concern, National Monuments, etc.).
However, IMBA believes that bicyclists are appropriate, muscle-powered trail users that are compatible with the philosophy of the 1964 Wilderness Act and the intent of Congress to exclude motorized "mechanized transport" from Wilderness areas.
IMBA is a 10-year old organization that supports environmental initiatives such as the Land and Water Conservation Fund, the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act and other efforts to acquire and preserve open space at local, state and national levels.

 IMBA FINALLY Takes Action
While IMBA considers appeasement to be their greatest weapon in dealing with Senator Boxer and her wilderness supporters - we feel this course is a critical mistake and mountain bikers are paying for it.
