IMBA’s Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day (TKMBD) is celebrated annually on the first Saturday in October. Created in 2004 and recognized by the U.S. Congress, TKMBD introduces the joy of mountain biking to the next generation. Hundreds of thousands of youth have discovered and celebrated the joy of pedalling two wheels on dirt at TKMBD events, improved their self esteem and made new friends. Many have gone on to become passionate riders, volunteer trail advocates, and even mountain bike racers.
WHY SHOULD I HOST A #TKMBD EVENT IN MY COMMUNITY?
Bicycling is good, healthy fun, and a gateway to healthy lifestyles. IMBA strives to develop a connection between kids, bikes and the natural world around them while touching on themes such as bike safety, skills, rider etiquette, nutrition, hydration and sun protection. Informal or formal, one child or 100 children, TKMBD celebrates the joy of riding in the dirt.
