Mountain Biking and COVID-19

With the desire to get outside stronger than ever, we must do what is necessary to remain safe and socially distanced. What can you do?  

Start by checking with state and local governments on COVID-19 guidelines and information related to parks, trails, or other closures.

The International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) has made available a set of guidelines for some common sense ways to stay safe on the trails. This document is available for download, print, and sharing within your community.
