About BiketownBiketown is a story of mountain bikers, unlikely partnerships and the communities they create. Mountain bikers have a long-standing tradition of working with private property owners, land managers and governments. Often, these relationships are driven by a dedicated and passionate group of mountain bikers, trailbuilders, and advocates - despite a sometimes turbulent and confrontational past. Biketown takes a deep dive into recreational trail development in Chisholm, Minnesota, Bellingham, Washington, Snowshoe, West Virginia and Pacific City, Oregon to explore themes at the heart of the current mountain bike movement—whether that be cooperation between the timber industry and a mountain bike community, federal forest managers and trailbuilders or advocacy organizations and tourism boards. This film is a story of success, an examination of recreation paradigms spanning local and national levels, and a beacon of light illuminating the true effort it takes to create a Biketown.
