Again, a number of points of clarification are needed. First, there is a single body in the US for assigning numbers to US Bicycle Routes. AASHTO owns the process, just as they do for all federal highways in the US. There can be any number of state and local bicycle routes, proposed or

Some clarification is needed. It is not that these roads might be good bicycle routes or even that they are perhaps part of existing or proposed bicycle routes. But they are not approved US Bicycle Routes and therefore do not have a USBR route number. The maps show them as having a USBR route

Jeff, I hope you are aware that the RAGBRAI route changes every year. And that is not just adjustments to the route but rather completely different routes each year. While routes may repeat after a few years, if you did the RAGBRAI route every year you would eventually show a large fraction of

Minh, The USBR numbering system is the same as the US Federal Highways system for dealing with scenic routes or alternates. So if there is an alternate to USBR 50 (whether as a scenic route or simply an alternate) then it would be numbered USBR 50A. Spur routes and bypass routes follow the same
