The U.S. Bicycle Route System is a visionary project similar to the national and international cycling systems blossoming across the globe, and in the last year, it has gained substantial momentum. Adventure Cycling is now working with dozens of state agencies, national organizations, nonprofits, volunteers, and the U.S. Congress to realize this vision. To date, 30 states are actively working to implement U.S. Bike Routes. (See for yourself on our state status webpage: http://www.adventurecycling.org/routes/usbrs/.) Plus, since the USBRS Facebook page launched in January 2010, it has attracted nearly 17,000 fans: http://www.facebook.com/usbrs.

We are asking cyclists in America to donate $10 to help with the creation of this national route network. During May (National Bike Month) our goal is to raise $30,000 as well as spark immense excitement about the progress so far! Last year we raised just over $27,000 during the campaign ($7,000 over our goal!).
