Accessories for Transporting Trail Maintenance Tools
Mountain bikes. You find them on nonwilderness trails everywhere. Continual improvements in bicycle suspensions, brakes, structural materials, and other key components allow mountain bikers to travel faster, farther, and with greater ease and dependability than ever before.
It should come as no surprise
that mountain bike enthusiasts who also maintain trails have seen the benefits
of using mountain bikes for trail work. This case study shows how the Seward
Ranger District on the Chugach National Forest uses mountain bikes. In
addition, it describes how the Missoula Technology and Development Center
(MTDC) worked with the District trail crew to develop a bicycle-mounted chain
saw carrier and evaluate several single-wheeled bicycle cargo trailers.
