When patrolling we provide assistance to hikers, equestrians, and especially mountain bikers. Patrollers give information and provide directions, help with minor repairs, provide first aid and emergency assistance, and get to ride awesome trails at the same time. IMBA assists in forming new patrols, certifies patrollers, and helps to obtain equipment and medical supplies. The fundamental goal of mountain bike patrols is to ensure trail access for mountain bikers. Mountain bike patrols work in cooperation with land managers to meet the specific needs of their local riding area.
Bike patrols help keep trails open.
