Marin Voice:
It is time for trail access for all
THE TRAIL ACCESS DEBATE wears on in this paper, with the arguments never changing. What is different this time is that the Marin Board of Supervisors has stepped up as directors of our open space, and are seeking new solutions to address user conflict on our open space trails.
About Us Our Goal
What we're about:
A4B is a non-profit political organization under IRC 527. Unlike other mountain bike organizations, we are allowed to accept donations in order to affect the political process. We also exist specifically to get mountain bikers organized to act in their own self-interest. Our focus is limited to getting fair and equal access to our public trails and to preserve the experience of trail riding for future generations.
Our Board of Directors is made up of dedicated mountain bike activists who have spent years fighting the increasing tide of trail closures and attempts to further criminalize the sport. After years of dedicated effort, we have come to realize that the restriction on mountain bikes are not based on logic or science, but rather on the political strength of our opponents. Therefore we have formed a political organization that is legally allowed to take a direct role in the political process that affects all of us, which other charitable bike clubs cannot legally do.
