To learn more about IMBA's work to save trails in California or to view a detailed list of land being considered for wilderness designation visit: www.imba.com. About half of the areas being considered for Wilderness do not overlap popular mountain biking trails. IMBA is focusing on the proposed Wilderness areas that conflict with significant riding opportunities. We advocate boundary adjustments and/or alternative types of protection to keep these areas wild and open to mountain biking.
IMBA is a national and international education and advocacy organization with 500 member clubs, 32,000 individual members, and more than 400 corporate partners and dealer members. IMBA creates, enhances and preserves trail opportunities for mountain bicyclists worldwide. In 1988, five California mountain biking clubs created IMBA.
Today, more than 60 bicycling clubs in California are IMBA affiliated. California bicycle manufacturing, retailing, tourism and publishing businesses generate an estimated $2 billion per year in economic activity.
