Abstract: | N = 406), highlight some important issues concerning the design and management of wildland recreation environments that are
primarily used for mountain biking. For example, bikers were found to significantly prefer water bars above all other tested
soil erosion management techniques; trail erosion factors, including the presence of rocks, roots, and gullies, all added
to biking experiences on average; trail design factors, such as the presence of turns, bumps, jumps, and obstacles, all added
to biking experiences in general. These findings were used to address questions that resource managers should consider when
striving to effectively manage wildland recreation areas primarily used for mountain biking. |
