ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIPIMBA protects beautiful places from development, and promotes sustainable, legal management of existing trails. Great trail building keeps watersheds clean, prevents erosion, protects sensitive ecologies and can even prevent the spread of invasive plant species. 2. COMMUNITY BUILDINGSafe and fun trails mean that everyone gets to have fun! Through IMBA’s carefully designed trail systems, beginners discover the sport and advanced riders get the challenges they seek – all in the same location. Mountain biking is a way to bring all ages and abilities together for great days. 3. HEALTH BENEFITSWe in the cycling industry are very aware of the many healthcare challenges that riders face. Luckily one of the best preventative health measures is exercise. Did you know that every dollar spent on trails benefits the USA via three dollars in health related savings? Imagine how many people that number represents. 4. ECONOMIC BENEFITSBoth the community and the bike industry see huge benefits from IMBA’s efforts. Mountain bikers by their nature seek local businesses, patronize local restaurants and get to know the local town.
