Palmer, D. (1991). Developing Mountain Bike (non-motorized) Opportunities on the Pisgah Ranger District: Clemson University, Program for Outdoor Recreation Management.

Abstract

The primary objectives of this project are to: 1) establish criteria which can be used to plan and monitor the environmental, safety, and social effects of mountain bikes on previously hiker-only trails; 2) develop user-friendly questionnaires and monitoring forms that can be used by all levels of the agency; 3) implement a 5-year monitoring program (1991-1995) to verify or modify the criteria; 4) determine the type of visitors using our trails, their expectations and experience level; 5) meet the monitoring requirements established in the district recreation plan; 6) publish the final product as a "Pocket Guide for Land Managers", to be used for planning and monitoring
mountain bike opportunities, primarily on previously hiker-only trails.
