United States numbered bicycle routes are regional bicycle routes in the United States. They are the bicycle equivalent to the system of United States numbered highways. The system consisted of only two routes from its inception in 1982, until its first major expansion in 2011. As of 2012 eight parent routes and two child routes exist. Also, many proposed routes have recently moved into planning stages as of 2010. The planned routes largely overlay existing roads and bicycle path networks.

—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Newspapers are unable, seemingly, to discriminate between a bicycle accident and the collapse of civilisation.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
