Why you should submit here, even if you already have elsewhere!

We keep them honest. If everyone only comments through the government/agency site, we have to take their word on how many comments were received. By submitting through BRC, we create an independent record of our community’s response that can’t be buried or under-reported.

We protect your voice. If this fight ends up in court, having our own record of submitted comments means we don’t have to wait a year or more for a government agency to turn over documents. We can move quickly with proof that thousands of you spoke up.
We keep you in the loop. When you comment through our site, we can send you updates on what comes next. If you only use the government/agency site, you’re depending on them to tell you what happens next — and they won’t.

Double coverage matters. Even if you’ve already commented through the government/agency site, submitting through ours makes your voice count twice — once in their system, and once in ours. That way they know the OHV community is watching and tracking every move.

For years, BRC has been trusted to run action alerts like this. Thousands of members and supporters have used this system effectively to defend access to public lands. This isn’t about collecting your info — it’s about building the strongest, most transparent record possible to hold agencies accountable.

At BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC), we champion responsible access to public lands for all recreationists. As federal land managers evaluate policies surrounding electric bikes (e-bikes) in this new administration, we believe that pedal-assisted e-bikes should be allowed on trails already open to traditional mountain bikes.

E-bikes provide an opportunity for more riders—including older adults, those with physical limitations, and families—to enjoy the great outdoors. These bikes still require pedaling, and studies show they have no greater impact on trails than traditional bicycles. By allowing e-bikes on established mountain bike trails, we can expand access while maintaining the integrity of multi-use trail systems.

Public lands belong to all Americans, and recreation policies should reflect the evolving ways people responsibly enjoy them. BRC encourages land managers and our representatives to adopt balanced regulations that promote access while preserving the experience for all trail users. We will continue advocating for fair policies that keep our public lands open and accessible to a broad range of outdoor enthusiasts.

If you support access for e-bikes on existing mountain bike trails, make your voice heard and sign the petition below! Stay engaged with BRC as we work to ensure public land policies reflect the needs of today’s recreation community.

Appreciate What We Do?

It takes a team of people to investigate, review, advocate and litigate in order to protect your rights to public lands. Please consider donating today so we can defend your ground.
