What You Can Do to Help

Every mountain biker has the power to help shape the future of our sport. Here are a few easy things you can do to help.

Ride Responsibly

It's all about respect - respect for the land and the experiences of other trail users. Stay on the trail and pass other trail users carefully. Follow IMBA's simple Rules of the Trail.

Join Your Local Club

The work of local and regional mountain bike clubs is essential in keeping trails open for mountain biking. Most clubs organize regular rides, trailwork sessions and social events. By joining your local club, you'll support grassroots mountain bike advocacy, meet other mountain bikers, and learn about great trails to ride that are close to home. (To find the IMBA club nearest you, go to the Contacts section of our website and search the Club listings.)

Volunteer for Trailwork

Trailwork is sweat equity. Land managers and government agencies appreciate reliable, competent volunteers. In the last five years, IMBA members have volunteered nearly one million hours of their time to build new trails and improve existing paths. Trailwork is fun, rewarding, a great workout and it helps assure continuing trail access for our sport.

Join IMBA

IMBA provides worldwide leadership for mountain bikers. We support effective grassroots efforts. We work with Federal and state agencies to improve mountain biking opportunities. We keep mountain biking's public image positive. IMBA's work keeps trails open and in good condition for everyone, especially mountain bikers.

Donate to IMBA

There are many ways to support IMBA and its commitment to mountain biking. The most popular is a cash donation. However, there are many federal tax incentives specifically intended to encourage charitable contributions.

Know What's Going On
