Community Trail Care & Maintenance

More Kids On Bikes is a proud member of International Mountain Bike Association as an IMBA Local Partner.

MKOB also partners with the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA), leading youth and NICA affiliate volunteer coaches in maintaining area trails for all users.

Through PICL and NICA, student-athletes who volunteer outside of bike practice by helping maintain and cut trails are recognized through the "Teen Trail Corp Program". Student-Athletes earn recognition through volunteer hours. This is a year 'round program in which every hour is logged. Student-Athletes can distinguish themselves in the NICA community by earning the TTC Hours and TTC Captain Status.

M.K.O.B. is here to help by building community partnerships with local land managers, allowing trail days to be scheduled and carried out. We are THRILLED to announce that we are the newest IMBA LOCAL AFFILIATE!

We partner with the Phoenixville Borough to help with annual maintenance costs and offer as-needed assistance throughout the open season.

Clinics & Pilot Programs

New community programs are on the horizon for 2025!
