IMBA Europe is a widespread collective of MTB advocacy groups, trail associations, professional trail builders, MTB regions and bicycle industry partners. As an umbrella organisation, cooperation through memberships and partnerships are key to our success and the most efficient and effective way to achieve our goals and ensure our efforts are positive and long-lasting. We facilitate knowledge flow, provide professional training and trail development assistance, coordinate European wide campaigns or research and build strong relationships with decision-makers. IMBA Europe acts as an intermediary and is the only organisation that represents grassroots mountain biking at the EU level. Being a non-profit association also enables us to apply for EU funding and join other project consortiums.
Europe has several national mountain bicycling associations whose mission it is to safeguard trail access, promote sustainable trail development, volunteer stewardship and stimulate recreational mountain biking on the national level.
They are Europe’s key to success and an important link to increase grassroots capacity. Therefore, support your national mountain biking association as a club or individual member and become part of the European mountain biking community.
