What is IMBA’s Public Land Initiative?
In April of this year at the Sea Otter Classic IMBA launched a new program, the Public Lands Initiative, to increase bike access across the United States. The announcement was made in dramatic fashion during the Bicycle Leadership Conference. At this conference Pedro’s joined the industries voices in pledging support for this critical Initiative.

“20 plus years ago, Pedro’s was founded with a mission to support the mountain bike family. During last week’s Bicycle Leadership Conference, there was a ‘moment’ that occurred at the Conference – a game changer for the US mountain biking trail systems,” said Pedro’s Matt Simpson. “We had made the decision as a team to reenter mountain biking; this pledge was our opportunity to walk our talk.”

What happened next was truly remarkable. "From that moment, industry leaders began stepping forward with incredibly generous pledges," said Mike Van Abel, IMBA's executive director. "This is going to make a big difference for mountain bikers," said Van Abel. "The Public Lands Initiative will bring new resources to our advocates that they sorely need. It will enable IMBA to offer things like professional training sessions, stronger legal resources and enhanced communications tools. The challenges are daunting. Yet we are focused on the opportunities before us: the conservation and stewardship of our public lands, and reconnecting kids and their families with nature through a healthy, low-impact activity."

Success is Achievable
IMBA's Public Lands Initiative offers new resources to promote a bicycle-friendly approach toward our nation’s legacy of public lands protection. The strategic elements of the campaign include:
Identify high-priority trails across the nation and keep them open to mountain bikes
Provide professional training sessions, enhanced communication tools and facilitated negotiations with stakeholder groups
Track management plans and promote pro-bicycle policies at the local, state and federal levels
Champion public land protection campaigns to protect our trails from development and resource extraction and preserve continued bicycle use
Build and strengthen multi-user outdoor recreation coalitions
Unite the bicycle industry, retailers and IMBA clubs behind key land protection campaigns
