I Just received this e-mail from a friend and the president of IMBA (International Mountain Bicycling association). This talks about funding for both bicycles and for off-road vehicles.
you can take action here League of American Bicyclists * Advocacy Center or just call or e-mail Mr. Demint.

DeMint Attacks Bicycle Infrastructure Funding
Stimulus Amendment To Prohibit Bike Funding
Take Action!
Call Your Senator Immediately
Senator DeMint (R-SC) has offered an amendment to SPECIFICALLY prohibit funding for bicycles, walking and offroad vehicles. The amendment ONLY goes after bicycle, walking, and offroad vehicle funding.
The Amendment has been offered but not introduced. We do not have a schedule for when this will be introduced and voted on, but we need to alert all Senators to urge them to vote against such amendments and ensure that funding for bicycle infrastructure remain eligible under the transportation funds provided in the stimulus package.
