  BLM National Mountain Bicycling Strategic Action Plan
The purpose of the action plan is to ensure that mountain bicycle use on public lands is managed in an environmentally responsible way in regards to ethics, conflicts and impacts, and that opportunities for this activity are not only recognized, but provided, on public lands where appropriate.
The arrival of the mountain bicycle in the land management setting is far more recent than this set of regulations.

 Bicycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bicycle in Victorian Plymouth, with a predecessor of the Starley diamond-frame
Historically, women's bicycle frames had a top tube that connected in the middle of the seat tube instead of the top, resulting in a lower standover height at the expense of compromised structural integrity, since this places a strong bending load in the seat tube, and bicycle frame members are typically weak in bending.
Bicycle manufacturing proved to be a training ground for other industries and led to the development of advanced metalworking techniques, both for the frames themselves and for special components such as ball bearings, washers, and sprockets.
