MTB TRAIL MANAGEMENT
B1KE’s has created a unique Mountain Bike Trail and Park ‘management solution’ for Landowners, Land Managers and Mountain Bike Groups. Unofficial Mountain Bike Trails and Bikeparks can become too much of a responsibility and start to become a liability for their owners/operators. Often this leaves the owner/operator without much option but to close the trail/s and remove the features. B1KE now offer an alternative, working with the landowner/manager and the mountain bike group to meet all of the legal and safety requirements, provide insurance, training and support for the Mountain Bike Group to enable the trails to stay open.
B1KE are currently developing the B1KEPARK and B1KETRAIL Network and have the following sites:
