BECOME A MEMBER
JOIN THE NMBC
Joining the NMBC means you care about trails and about the future of mountain biking in your community. Your membership dues support local trail maintenance and advocacy, and funds the necessary training and equipment the organization needs to build safe and sustainable trails.
As Nanaimo’s official mountain bike advocacy group, we work with private landowners and governments (local, provincial, and federal) to manage and maintain public trail access for non-motorized users, which includes hikers, trail runners, dog walkers—everyone. Even if you’re not an avid mountain biker, your support is deeply appreciated.
