“The guidelines contain best-practice information, and to have that information sitting behind a paywall limits its potential reach and prevents aspiring trail developers and managers from being fully informed in their decision making,” Meinicke said.

Original editor of the guidelines and member of the Queensland State Advisory Council Craig Meinicke outlined how making the guidelines freely available would have a positive outcome for the mountain bike community. Previously only available in hardcopy at cost, the guidelines combine global trail development and management techniques with local experience and knowledge, and are a key tool for land managers and mountain bike groups in planning, constructing, and managing sustainable trails.ĭownload a copy of the Australian Mountain Bike Trail Guidelines.ĪusCycling will also host an open webinar about the guidelines, to discuss their implementation and explain the differences between the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) framework and the Australian framework.ĭetails on the webinar will be announced shortly.
