Say no to wheels in Wilderness: Tell Congress to oppose S. 4561!
For 60 years, the Wilderness Act has protected designated Wilderness areas from machines of all types, including cars, trucks, ATVs, OHVs, snowmobiles, bicycles, and all other types of motorized and mechanized transport.
Senator Mike Lee’s (R-UT) S. 4561 would weaken the Wilderness Act and potentially blast open every Wilderness in the nation to mountain bikes and other forms of mechanized transportation.
Congress passed the Wilderness Act to protect the wild character of these places, to keep them free from the influences of modern civilization, human domination, and human manipulation. Allowing potentially high-speed mountain bikes, and their associated impacts, in these areas would defeat the very purpose of setting aside and protecting these areas as Wilderness.
I oppose S. 4561 and any other attempts to undermine the Wilderness Act and wilderness protections.
Sign here to tell Congress to oppose S. 4561!
