Informational use only
CanIBikeHere publishes data, scores, rankings, and analysis about mountain-bike and e-bike trail legality and national-forest trail data. Everything on canibikehere.com is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not professional advice and should not be relied on as the sole basis for any consequential decision.
Nothing on canibikehere.com constitutes financial, legal, medical, tax, investment, real-estate, insurance, or engineering advice. Always consult a qualified, licensed professional for decisions that affect your money, health, safety, legal status, or property.
Data source and accuracy
The underlying data displayed on canibikehere.com is derived from the U.S. Forest Service National Forest System Trails dataset and Administrative Forest Boundaries — official federal travel-management data. We do our best to process that data faithfully, but we make no representations or warranties — express or implied — about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of any information, analysis, or related graphics.
Source records may contain errors, be incomplete, be reported late, or be restated by the issuing agency after publication. Where the source corrects a record, CanIBikeHere will follow on the next refresh — but there may be a lag. Always verify any figure against the original source before acting on it.
How we process this data: Every figure is derived from the USFS National Forest System Trails dataset. For each trail segment we read the managed, accepted, discouraged and restricted seasons for bicycle and Class 1/2/3 e-bike use, plus trail class, surface, grade, accessibility and mileage, then aggregate them per forest and per state. Season date ranges are unioned into plain-language windows. We present conventional-bike and e-bike designations separately rather than conflating them, and we surface trail grade (steepness) without inferring a technical MTB difficulty rating from it.
Refresh cadence: Trail designations refresh whenever the U.S. Forest Service republishes its travel-management data, on a rolling basis; the current release covers eight states and is expanding.
Known limitations of this source: Designations and seasons change, and forest- or district-level orders can override the published data — always confirm current rules with the managing ranger district before you ride. This is the regulatory and structural layer, not live trail conditions, and it covers National Forest System land only, not state, county or private trails. Nothing here is legal advice and no U.S. Forest Service endorsement is implied.
