ADVENTURE CYCLING PROVIDES TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO STATE DEPARTMENTS OF TRANSPORTATION (DOT) SO THEY DESIGNATE MILES OF U.S. BICYCLE ROUTES SYSTEM (USBRS). THESE DESIGANTED MILES AND ROUTES ARE ELEVATED AND BETTER SITUATED WITHIN THE STATE DOTS TO RECEIVE FUNDING FOR INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS TO IMPROVE SAFETY FOR CYCLISTS. THE USBRS IS AVAILABLE ON RIDEWITHGPS FOR FREE TO DOWNLOAD SO ANYONE CAN SEE WHAT THOSE ROUTES ARE AND FOLLOW THEM. THE MAPS HAVE EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE HISTORY, GEOLOGY, AND GEOGRAPHY OF THE AREA THROUGH WHICH THE ROUTE TRAVELS. THE MAPS ALSO CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SERVICES AVAILABLE FOR BIKE TRAVELERS ALONG THE ROUTE, SUCH AS PLACE TO EAT, BIKE-FRIENDLY LODGING, AND BIKE SHOPS.
