Throughout 2022 and 2023, NACTO will release the next chapters of bike design guidance in the form of working papers that cover critical gaps in vetted guidance for cities, including best practices for data collection, network design, equitable network design, and scaling success to better meet the challenges of our time. These working papers will inform the upcoming third edition of the UBDG.
The purpose of the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide (part of the Cities for Cycling initiative) is to provide cities with state-of-the-practice solutions that can help create complete streets that are safe and enjoyable for bicyclists.
The NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide is based on the experience of the best cycling cities in the world. The designs in this document were developed by cities for cities, since unique urban streets require innovative solutions. Most of these treatments are not directly referenced in the current version of the AASHTO Guide to Bikeway Facilities, although they are virtually all (with two exceptions) permitted under the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The Federal Highway Administration has posted information regarding MUTCD approval status of all of the bicycle related treatments in this guide and in August 2013 issued a memorandum officially supporting use of the document. All of the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide treatments are in use internationally and in many cities around the US.
To create the Guide, the authors have conducted an extensive worldwide literature search from design guidelines and real-life experience. They have worked closely with a panel of urban bikeway planning professionals from NACTO member cities, as well as traffic engineers, planners, and academics with deep experience in urban bikeway applications.
It is important to note that many urban situations are complex; treatments must be tailored to the individual situation. Good engineering judgment based on deep knowledge of bicycle transportation should be a part of bikeway design. Decisions should be thoroughly documented. To assist with this, the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide links to companion reference material and studies.

Road bikes are fast-moving, nimble machines that can take you to see the world. These bikes are lighter weight than most other bicycles and have higher gearing to allow you to ride with much more speed to really put in the miles on your daily ride. KHS makes many levels of road bikes, from full-blown race bikes to fun sport ride bikes to off-road gravel bikes that take you to see the beauty of the earth.
Mountain bikes are just that, a bike to take to off road into the mountains. These bikes typically have suspension forks and/or rear suspension. KHS makes Mountain bikes that give you a comfortable fit to help you be able to get and ride all day long.
Electric Bikes or e-Bikes allow you to do more on your bike. You can see more, ride more miles, go more places and just have more fun. KHS has a full line of e-Bikes that will fit anyones needs. From a great commuter to a killer mountain trail bike to a e-Bikes to run your errands around town, we have a e-Bike model for you.
Fitness bikes are like the yoga pants of bikes. They fit great, look great, and can be used whether you are hammering the miles or cruising the bike path. These bikes are designed with style, performance, and are particularly suited to riding for aerobic conditioning.
The Mongoose owner's manual contains important safety, performance and maintenance information. Read the manual before taking your first ride on your new Mongoose.

Here are over 130 bicycle catalogs and bike brochures for Trek, Gary Fisher, Klein, and LeMond plus one 2012 catalog for Bontrager. Trek provided these scanned and digital technical documents to its dealers. Our thanks to Brandon Rouse, Service Manager of Trek of Pittsburgh Bicycle Store - Robinson, for sending us these catalogs. Thanks also to Trek for making these catalogs available.
Over time, Trek expanded its domain by purchasing other bicycle manufacturers. These include: Gary Fisher Bicycles, Klein, and Greg LeMond Bicycles. Trek kept these as separate brands, producing separate catalogs for each. Trek also purchased Bontrager, keeping this as a brand for components.
For many of the years covered, in addition to the sales catalog, there is a technical manual that provides additional information and detailed specifications about the bikes of that year. The technical manuals were provided to the staff of bike shops selling the Trek line. Many of the technical manuals also include suggested methods to best sell the bikes.
Trek* Copyrighted Materials - these brochures are copyrighted by Trek. We thank Trek for the use of these materials to help educate site visitors about Trek bicycles, and to celebrate the Trek marque.
Each ebike from Rad Power Bikes ships with an owner's manual. The most up-to-date manuals for ebikes sold in the U.S. and Canada are linked below. To download a manual for a bike sold in Europe, click HERE.
Our ebikes are shipped nearly fully assembled, which means there is some assembly required before you can ride Rad. Our owner's manuals and assembly videos will walk you through assembly, but if you would like to have your bike assembled for you, take a look at the options outlined HERE.
* Some RadRunner Plus ebikes come with the passenger seat not yet installed on the rear rack. If your RadRunner Plus came packaged that way, follow the directions in the RadRunner Passenger Package Installation Guide to install your passenger seat. You can skip the steps for installing the foot pegs and the wheel skirts, which come pre-installed on your RadRunner Plus.
The design of a bicycle facility is critical to its proper use and operation. Bicycle facilities should meet approved design standards as set forth by the AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, NYSDOT Highway Design Manual, Chapter 17 Design of Bicycle Facilities and the Federal Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). These and other resources that pertain to the proper design and operation of bicycle facilities are listed below.
This guide provides information on how to accommodate bicycle travel and operations in most riding environments. It is intended to present sound guidelines that result in facilities that meet the needs of bicyclists and other highway users. Sufficient flexibility is permitted to encourage designs that are sensitive to local context and incorporate the needs of bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorists. However, in some sections of this guide, suggested minimum dimensions are provided. These are recommended only where further deviation from desirable values could increase crash frequency or severity.
This guide has been updated from the previous guide published in 1999. The fact that new guidance is presented herein does not imply that existing bicycle facilities are inadequate or unsafe, nor does it mandate the initiation of improvement projects. The intent of this document is to provide guidance to designers and planners by referencing a recommended range of design values and describing alternative design approaches.
The Design Resource Index identifies the specific location of information in key national design manuals for various pedestrian and bicycle design treatments. The Design Resource Index will help practitioners quickly access the right resources and should reduce the amount of time it takes to search through multiple design guides to find the information they need.
The Design Resource Index consists of three separate matrices: On-Street Bicycle Facilities, Shared Use Paths, and Pedestrian Facilities. The Design Resource Index incorporates national resource manuals and guidelines published by FHWA, ITE, AASHTO, NACTO, and the U.S. Access Board. The following sources are included:
The Design Resource Index was prepared by the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center and Toole Design Group for the USDOT Federal Highway Administration. The current version is based on information available as of September 7, 2018.

This is a 1930's bicycle which was manufactured with a gearbox that you can shift like the one on a motorbike or a car, though there is no clutch involved. Current gearboxes in production are electronically controlled and are bulky. They are claimed to be less efficient than the derailleur shifting on a chain drive and I expect them to be more expensive due to the electronic system and the shifting mechanism powered by the servo motor. This 1930's gearbox setup seems to use fewer parts and is less bulky. The only drawback I can see (from the video) is having just two gear ratios. However, they seem to be worth a try - if not for sports, at least for daily commute.
