SHOSHONE, Idaho – Envisioning an electronic mountain bike (eMTB) in your future? The BLM Shoshone Field Office is offering an opportunity to try one out June 2, 2018 from 9 a.m. – noon at the Croy Creek Trailhead -- 3.5 miles west of Hailey. Local vendors will supply the eMTBs.
According to BLM policy, eMTBs are considered a motorized vehicle, however they introduce a new motorized/mechanized niche not seen before. “We are very interested to hear what people have to say about the eMTB experience,” said John Kurtz, Shoshone Outdoor Recreation Planner. “This feedback will be helpful as we consider incorporating this fast and upcoming trend into the Wood River Valley Travel Management Plan.”
For more information contact John Kurtz, Outdoor Recreation Planner at 208-732-7296 or jkurtz@blm.gov.
