Because where would we be without trails?
My school is looking into the possibility of putting a paved walking/biking trail on school grounds.
Anyone who has any resources or experience (advice) is greatly appreciated.
Trail would be about .4 miles long.
Thanks.
Governor Corbett's proposed budget will remove dedicated funding for recreation and conservation, threatening the natural legacy of our great commonwealth. Please sign the petition below to join with other recreation and conservation groups in letting your state legislator know you oppose this action.
Take Action!
We received the following request for volunteer help. The woman that sent the request works for Lehigh County and knows VMB through the Sals trash cleanup days that she helped to organize.

HARRISBURG - A law that sets new rules for Pennsylvania motorists to follow when encountering a bicyclist takes effect on Monday morning. The law, designed to improve safety and traffic flow, was signed by Governor Tom Corbett on Feb. 2.
The new law requires motorists to leave a 4-foot "cushion of safety" when passing a bicyclist. To achieve this cushion, drivers may cross a roadway's center line when passing a bicycle on the left, but only when opposing traffic allows. Drivers attempting to turn left must also yield the right of way to bicycle riders traveling in the opposite direction.
Disappointing. Definitely lack of forward thinking.

Pump Track coming to Emmaus! Money already in place! New singletrack, new bike paths! Emmaus! More info to follow.
Please join me in opposing H.R. 7, the atrocious American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act of 2012. This bill would eliminate dedicated funding for trails, walking and bicycling, among many other terrible outcomes. Thank you.

Rule 1: Remember the human
The golden rule your parents and your kindergarten teacher taught you was pretty simple: Do unto others as you'd have others do unto you. Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes. Stand up for yourself, but try not to hurt people's feelings.
In cyberspace, we state this in an even more basic manner: Remember the human.
Hey all, the Rattling Creekers are replacing a big ass bridge this coming Sunday that was washed downstream in that hurricane a few months back. Work in the AM and then get in a sweet ride in the afternoon on those IMBA Epic approved trails maybe?
Here are some deets:
Here's the official word from the Rattling Creekers:
--------------------------------
All,
The bridge retrieval is definitely going to happen on December 4. We will
meet at the west end of Doc Smith Trail. This is the end nearest the
intersection of Doc Smith and Rattling Creek Trails. We're not quite at 20,
Open space. City parks. Thousands of miles of singletrack across all 50 states. If you value those things, you will take just 60 seconds to help IMBA support the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). All you have to do is sign a petition.
The petition asks the Obama Administration to fully and permanently fund the LWCF and its work buying open space and helping cities and counties build parks, many of which contain mountain bike trails and are in your own backyard.
