I found this post by Mike Vitti of CLIMB:
Just got this action alert from a national hiking organization, they are lobbying to reverse the ruling by Bush to give individual park managers within the National Park Service the right to allow mountain biking within their park.
I suggest we use the action alert link to fill out a pro mountain biking message. This will in effect, cancel their lobbying effort. Please forward to your local MTB clubs and forums:
Take Action to Ensure that the National Park Service Maintains its Current Regulation on Bicycle Route Designation
Hikers, the National Park Service is considering a plan to relax their regulations that govern bicycles on trails - a change potentially made without public notice, review or comment. This could allow Park Superintendents to discriminately designate trails and trail use.
American Hiking Society supports the full involvement of hikers in policy development, funding, and planning and management decisions that potentially impact access to and the conservation of public recreation lands and the hiking experience.
Contact Secretary of the Interior Kempthorne and let him know that the hiking community's steadfast support and commitment to the National Park System is built on trust, transparency and full public engagement in their planning and regulatory decision-making processes.
