About Us
PMBA, a chartered IMBA chapter club, is a charitable non-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in Philadelphia Pennsylvania.
We are an organized group of mountain biking enthusiasts who share a common love of the sport and a desire to promote it. We are composed of all levels and types of riders, young and old, many of whom enjoy volunteering to build and maintain trails as much as we enjoy riding on them.
Our core philosophy is to be dedicated to protecting our precious trails via responsible usage, advocacy, volunteer work and financial contributions.
PMBA is open to all people who are looking for an effective and fun way to share in and contribute to the Philadelphia & surrounding area mountain biking experience!
Members are urged to contribute by any and all means possible, whether that is time, money, goods, services and/or expertise.
As IMBA says: "what would we do without trails?" That's a scary proposition...
We hope to see you at the next volunteer trail maintenance day, group ride, or meeting!!

Several members of the Philadelphia Mountain Bike Association and

Commission and did some clearing of a meadow within Wissahickon Park
just off Cathedral Rd. Young and old, cyclists, hikers and equestrians
all pitched in to clear out trees, vines and underbrush that was
threatening some of the indigenous trees and plant life in the meadow.
Volunteers used chainsaws, bow saws and sheers to tear out the unwanted
elements and put them through a shredder. Remaining stumps were sprayed
in order to prohibit them from coming back to life.
While FOW has long been a driving force behind volunteer maintenance at
Wiss, the newly formed PMBA is hoping to bolster efforts to keep the
park and it's multi-user trail systems groomed for everyone to use by
encouraging it's members to volunteer for these monthly work days. The
work was hard, but the rewards will be a better maintained recreation
area and trail system, and hopefully better relationships between the
diverse communities that use the park.
PMBA members in attendance included:
Tom Coyle
Lou Harris
Chris Hunter
Robert Krotee
Paul Harris
Dmitri Zorine Sr.
Dmitri Zorine Jr.

Current Wissahickon Conditions
Trails are wet from the light snow, but they are by no means muddy and you can ride them. Just use caution becuase it is slick! It is also very pretty in there! 
Please put a bell on your bike and use it, it's courteous to other users.
