U.S. Bicycle Route 87 (USBR 87) is a U.S. Numbered Bicycle Route which runs between Skagway and the Canada–US border in the State of Alaska.[1][2][3] It is planned to eventually follow the Alaska Marine Highway from Skagway to Bellingham, Washington, and then it will go south to California. Currently, the official route lies entirely within Alaska, and it follows the Klondike Highway.[3] It was approved by AASHTO in early May 2011, making it one of the first expansions of the U.S. Bike Route system since 1982.[2][3][4]
