IMBA Europe Corporate Membership
Joining the IMBA Europe as a Corporate Member is one of the best things you
can do to strengthen your business and contribute to the future of mountain
biking in Europe. Inspired by the achievement of IMBA in the United States and
elsewhere, several national mountainbiking advocacy organizations have
united their efforts work towards creating a truly European initiative.
Membership taps you into the power of IMBA Europe. 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 bottomline will
suffer, asmountain bikers will ride less often or adopt other recreational
activities.
Nonbicycle companies are drawn to IMBA Europe because of the healthy and
active lifestyle we advocate. Our core values of sustainability, accessibility,
responsibility and leadership create a powerful opportunity for causerelated
marketing and brand building.
