To celebrate 10 years of promoting trail stewardship, supporting mountain bike communities in Europe and advocating for better trail access, IMBA invites you to its new summit. The main theme of the summit, “Reframing MTB”, includes new perspectives on what is sustainable, and challenges all stakeholders and participants to be open to new ideas and solutions to ensure a bright future for MTB in all its aspects.
IMBA Europe, active member of the ENOS network
As a leading advocate for mountain biking and trail development across Europe, IMBA seeks to get more people cycling through sustainable mountain biking. As a low-cost, accessible, inclusive and environmentally sustainable sport, IMBA aims to raise awareness of the joys of mountain biking in natural areas and the mental and physical benefits that come with it.
By advocating for more trails close to home – essential to encourage more people to get out and be active in their daily lives – and opening up mountain biking to a more diverse audience, IMBA Europe is fully in line with the actions of ENOS, of which it is an active member.
IMBA European Summits: a way to increase knowledge and develop partnerships
Over the course of years, the IMBA Summits have attracted an increasingly diverse range of participants and organisations. From mountain bike advocacy groups, trail builders and professionals in the bicycle and tourism industry, to land managers, academics, public authorities, and health care practitioners. More and more professionals are working in the emerging domain of mountain biking and the need to learn from each other, exchange knowledge, to get inspired and build partnerships has only increased.
