""For us, it's not a huge lift to just be mindful when we're trying to build trail or improve trail to think about the adaptive rider," said Angus McCusker, the Velomont trail director with the nonprofit Vermont Huts and Trails. McCusker is referring to the growing number of disabled athletes who mountain bike with specially designed equipment. "The challenge," said McCusker, "is we're connecting to existing trail networks that were never intended for adaptive bikes. So, where we can, we're trying to do adaptive assessments."" https://www.npr.org/2026/07/09/nx-s1-5879435/outdoor-access-for-disabled-in-vermont #BikeTooter #Accessibility #Vermont #Cycling
