Bike Accessibility
Bicycle Accessibility should be a key factor to consider for park maintenance and the creation / networking of new parks.
Within parks, cycle accessible routes should be available where reasonable to do so.
These paths should not be exclusive for bikes only but should include a certain quality of path surfacing and maintenance to allow access to bikes.
Good access to the parks via bike from other cycle routes, such as the national cycle network, should also be considered when deciding the location of new park(s).

Why the contribution is important
This could guarantee an activity for people to do to keep healthy, promote a new way of experiencing larger national parks, and in conjunction with a related idea for improved public transport access, this would make access to these spaces more environmentally friendly.
A bike accessible place, with well maintains paths, would also have the advantage of giving improved general accessibility, such as for wheelchairs and people with other mobility issues.

A National Park here would therefor likely have biking trails that could be used to get around the park as well as explore the wider area

Access is massively important, but there needs to be a mechanism in the system for bike access to be restricted in sensitive areas, which in reality probably account for 15-20% of the land area. This mechanism needs to be administered by a number of stakeholders, so that it can not be abused for other purposes.
