• THE ROUTES AND MAPPING PROGRAM IS THE FLAGSHIP PROGRAM OF ADVENTURE CYCLING WITH THE CREATION OF THE TRANSAMERICA BICYCLE TRAIL. CORE TO ADVENTURE CYCLING'S EDUCATIONAL AND CHARITABLE PURPOSE IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF USEFUL MATERIALS AND TOOLS FOR DISTRIBUTION TO ITS MEMBERS AND THE PUBLIC. TO DATE, THE ASSOCIATION HAS CHARTED 48,629 MILES OF BIKE ROUTES, WHICH NOW COMPRISES THE ADVENTURE CYCLING ROUTE NETWORK. ADVENTURE CYCLING EXPANDS LOGISTICAL ACCESS BY DESIGNING, DEVELOPING, AND CURATING RELIABLE AND SAFE BICYCLE TOURING ROUTES. ACCESS TO AND FROM ADVENTURE CYCLING ROUTES IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN GETTING PEOPLE ENGAGED IN BICYCLE TRAVEL.STATES ARE LESS INCLINED TO PRIORITIZE THE SAFETY OF BICYCLE TRAVELERS UNLESS THEY HAVE ROUTES DESIGNATED BY THE STATES. ADVENTURE CYCLING PROVIDES TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO STATE DEPARTMENTS OF TRANSPORTATION (DOT) SO THEY DESIGNATE MILES OF U.S. BICYCLE ROUTES SYSTEM (USBRS). THESE DESIGNATED 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 PLACES TO EAT, BIKE-FRIENDLY LODGING, AND BIKE SHOPS. THE MERCHANDISE SALES PROGRAM OFFERS OUR BIKE TOURING MAPS, BRANDED MERCHANDISE, AND BIKE TRAVEL PRODUCTS, WHICH CAN BE HARD TO SOURCE. WE ALSO PRODUCE EDUCATIONAL REFERENCE GUIDES TO ASSIST CYCLISTS IN PREPARATION FOR TRIPS. THIS PROGRAM BREAKS DOWN THE BARRIER TO ENTRY TO THE ACTIVITY OF BIKE TRAVEL. WE ALSO OFFER FREE ADVICE TO ANY CALLER OR IN-OFFICE VISITOR TO HELP THEM PLAN THEIR OWN PERSON BICYCLE TRIPS.

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
