Joining the International Mountain Bicycling Association (Canada) as a Corporate Member is one of the best things you can do to strengthen your business and connect with the core of mountain biking enthusiasts.
Since 1988, IMBA has led the effort to keep trails open for cyclists. Working with our 750 affiliated clubs and patrols, we've protected access to thousands of trails, and built more than 10,000 miles of new trails.
Membership taps you into the power of IMBA. Our family of clubs, patrols and individual members encompasses more than 80,000 core cycling enthusiasts. For bicycle related companies the link between trail access and equipment sales is clear -- if trails are open, your sales will grow. When bicycle access is lost your bottom line will suffer, as mountain bikers will ride less often or adopt other recreational activities.
Non-bicycle companies are drawn to IMBA because of our active membership and far-reaching scope. Our core values of conservation, education, land stewardship and healthy recreation creates a powerful opportunity for cause-related marketing and brand building.
