Vermont Trail Project Works to Make 485-Mile Route Accessible for Disabled Cyclists

A long-running effort to build a sweeping 485-mile multi-use trail through Vermont is taking steps to make sure riders of all abilities can participate.

The trail, known as The Velomont, is designed to run the full length of the state and has been in development for several years. Organizers are placing a special focus on making the route accessible to people with disabilities, with particular attention to adaptive cyclists.

The push for inclusivity reflects a broader commitment among trail planners to ensure that outdoor recreational spaces are welcoming to everyone, regardless of physical ability.
