IMBA.com | 7 Sept

In an effort to get kids back on bikes and back outdoors, IMBA will celebrate the first annual National Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day on Saturday, Oct. 2. This is a great opportunity for you to pass your passion for pedaling on to kids!

Participating is as easy as 1, 2 or 3.


1. Organize a ride in your local area. IMBA can help you plan an event - either large or small; please register so that we can announce your ride on the IMBA website. You'll be entered in a drawing for a matching set of three Schwinn kids mountain bikes - the perfect prize for any kids cycling group or youth program.


2. Spread the word. This event is a great opportunity for kids and groups to experience mountain biking for the first time or to get back on the saddle again.


3. Take a kid on a ride. Plan to go mountain biking on Oct. 2 - and bring a kid along for the ride! Register your participation for a chance to win a matching set of three Schwinn kids mountain bikes. Check out these helpful tips for taking kids riding and learn about other kids cycling programs.

IMBA National Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day celebrates the life of Jack Doub, an avid teenage mountain biker from North Carolina who had a true passion for the sport from an early age but passed away in 2002. Funding is provided by the Jack Doub Memorial Endowment, Schwinn Bicycles and the Goldsmith-Greenfield Foundation. The event will take place each year on the first Saturday in October.
