These guidelines for trail behavior are recognized around the world. IMBA developed the "Rules

of the Trail" to promote responsible and courteous conduct on shared-use trails. Keep in mind that conventions for yielding and passing may vary, depending on traffic conditions and the intended

use of the trail.

1. Ride On Open Trails Only - Respect trail and road closures -- ask a land manager for clarification

if you are uncertain about the status of a trail. Do not trespass on private land. Obtain permits or other

authorization as may be required. Be aware that bicycles are not permitted in areas protected as state or federal Wilderness.

2. Leave No Trace -Be sensitive to the dirt beneath you. Wet and muddy trails are more vulnerable to

damage than dry ones. When the trail is soft, consider other riding options. This also means staying on existing trails and not creating new ones. Don't cut switchbacks. Be sure to pack out at least as much as

you pack in.

3. Control Your Bicycle - Inattention for even a moment could put yourself and others at risk. Obey

all bicycle speed regulations and recommendations, and ride within your limits.

4. Yield to Others - Do your best to let your fellow trail users know you're coming - a friendly greeting

or bell ring are good methods. Try to anticipate other trail users as you ride around corners. Bicyclists

shouldyield to all other trail users, unless the trail is clearly signed for bike-only travel. Bicyclists traveling

downhill should yield to ones headed uphill, unless the trail is clearly signed for one-way or downhill-only

traffic. Strive to make each pass a safe and courteous one.

5. Never Scare Animals - Animals are easily startled by an unannounced approach, a sudden move-

ment or a loud noise. Give animals enough room and time to adjust to you. When passing horses, use

special care and follow directions from the horseback riders (ask if uncertain). Running cattle or disturbing

wildlife are serious offenses.

6. Plan Ahead - Know your equipment, your ability and the area in which you are riding - and prepare

accordingly. Strive to be self-sufficient: keep your equipment in good repair and carry necessary supplies

for changes in weather or other conditions. Always wear a helmet and appropriate safety gear.
