Mountain bike tourism may provide significant benefit to communities, as shown by economic impacts of $38 (CDN) million realized in the Sea to Sky Corridor region of British Columbia, Canada in 2006. This outcome originated with regional stakeholder collaboration and community mountain bike trail planning dating back to the early 1990’s. Despite the growth in mountain bike tourism, formal research into community mountain bike tourism development is still in its infancy. To explore the critical success factors necessary to build sustainable tourism capacity for the development of mountain bike tourism, industry expert analysis of a modified Delphi method was utilized in this empirical study. A literature review, followed by online surveys of selected experts led to the creation of a framework for community-based mountain bike tourism development to support sustainable community mountain bike tourism development strategies. Community planners need to be cognizant of applicable critical success factors necessary to ensure the execution of a sustainable tourism development strategy, which meets visitor expectations and reflects community values to ultimately achieve desired. Potential benefits to those communities that get the mix and application of critical success factors correct may include: efficient allocation of resources, increased recreational opportunities for locals and visitors, increased visitation and taxation revenues, and regional entrepreneurial opportunities. Negative impacts of inaction or inefficient collaboration may include: constraints on tourism development opportunities, stakeholder conflict, and environmental degradation. This framework may be beneficial to clusters of tourism stakeholders for mapping-out long-term objectives and to achieve planning and operational efficacy. Use of the framework may assist in nurturing community development through efficient planning, investment, and allocation of resources towards building sustainable tourism capacity and creating a diversity of product appealing to a wide range of potential consumers, locally and globally.

Mountain bike tourism may provide significant benefit to communities, however, community planners should be cognizant of applicable Critical Success Factors necessary to ensure the execution of a sustainable mountain bike tourism development strategy which meets visitor expectations and reflects community values. The benefits to those communities which get the mix and application of factors correct may include: increased opportunities for recreational mountain biking for diverse participant populations, increased destination awareness, increased revenues, development of community infrastructure, support for community social development, creation of social capital, improved competitiveness, and the promotion of local characteristics.
For communities developing mountain bike tourism in British Columbia, the next challenges remain to maintain the building of momentum while ensuring the sustainability of social, cultural, environmental, and fiscal factor attributes. Consideration of locally prevalent Critical Success Factors and the development and execution of a community mountain bike tourism strategy using the CSFs with a structured planning framework may assist community planners and stakeholders to achieve successful outcomes for community participants and visitors alike. Leading-edge research now allows communities to leverage this strategic planning approach through the use of social media infrastructure and emerging storytelling frameworks with support through non-traditional partnerships and the tourism network system.

Comparison of Mountain bikers’ expenditures Adda Syuhada
This study analyzed the expenditures of mountain bikers at Bukit Kiara in Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya Challenge Park in Putrajaya, Malaysia. It found that the majority of mountain bikers at both sites were male, aged 31-40, university educated, full-time employees with incomes over RM5,000. Mountain bikers spent the most on equipment and accessories, averaging over RM2,000 at Bukit Kiara and RM1,700 at Putrajaya Park. High spending on equipment suggests commitment to the sport and could significantly impact bicycle retail businesses. Additional research is needed to better understand purchase determinants and the economic impacts of mountain biking.
Bicycle tourism and infrastructure have significant economic benefits for North Carolina communities. Recent maps created for Chatham County outline recreational bike loops that attract cyclists while generating revenue through local spending. Mobile apps can help promote routes and events, providing data to study cycling patterns and improve infrastructure. Major cycling events like Ironman bring thousands of athletes and visitors, contributing over $1 million directly to local economies. Overall, the bike industry annually provides over $60 million to the Outer Banks through tourism spending, property value increases, and job creation supported by the 1.4 million annual cyclists in North Carolina.
This document summarizes a presentation about how developing bike tourism can provide economic, visibility, and infrastructure benefits ("triple bottom line") for communities. It provides statistics on the economic impact of bike tourism in various states and communities. The presentation recommends a 7-step approach for communities to realize the triple bottom line, including building bike facilities and networks, connecting to state and national bike routes, capturing bike tourism interests, and promoting different types of bike tourism.

The Minnesota Mississippi River Trail brings bicyclists to America's river through partnerships along its route. The trail utilizes existing roads and trails to connect communities without needing additional land or expensive development. Presenters discussed Minnesota DOT's planning of the trail, the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota's work to make communities more bicycle-friendly, and the National Park Service's alternative transportation plan.
The document summarizes plans and efforts to develop the Mississippi River Trail as a bikeway across Minnesota. It discusses partnerships between the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota, and National Park Service to plan, promote, and manage the trail. The trail will connect communities along the Mississippi River through existing roads and trails to attract visitors and improve recreation, transportation, and public health across the state.
This document summarizes a presentation on lessons learned for implementing cycle tracks in Canadian cities. It begins with an overview of cycle tracks and why they are implemented to increase bicycling. It then discusses three case studies: Ottawa, Vancouver, and Copenhagen. The case studies describe the rationale, key design features, public engagement processes, and lessons learned from each city's cycle track projects. Common challenges discussed include addressing concerns around increased congestion, impacts to businesses and parking, and the political will and communications efforts required for successful implementation. The presentation concludes with a discussion of building support, engaging the public, addressing design challenges, communications, and evaluating cycle track projects.
The document discusses the economic benefits of investing in trail systems. It provides evidence from multiple studies that trail systems can:
1) Generate significant annual economic impact through tourism and consumer spending that outweighs the initial construction costs;
2) Create jobs in industries like retail, restaurants, and accommodation that support bicycle tourism; and
3) Help revitalize local economies by attracting new visitors and supporting new businesses along the trails.
This document discusses increasing bicycle tourism. It notes that bicycle tourism is an emerging sector, as more Americans now cycle than participate in other recreational activities. Investing in bicycle infrastructure and promoting destinations as bicycle-friendly can provide significant economic benefits to local communities. The document provides examples of various cities and regions that have invested in bicycle infrastructure and seen substantial economic impacts in the hundreds of millions of dollars from increased bicycle tourism.
2018 Multi-state, Multi-use Trail System as Tool for Community Economic Devel...PeterHackbert
