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!!
Weekly Group RIDES. Mingle with the locals.

On Feb 9th, about 15 PMBA members volunteered their Saturday morning to join forces with FOW and FPC staff to make improvements in the Wissahickon Park, near Daisy Field. Volunteers worked for about four hours picking up trash, removing invasive bamboo, and restoring eroded areas of trail--taking a break for lunch to enjoy tomato pie from T&F Market and High Point Cafe coffee!
Here's what was accomplished:
- PMBA led a crew for a trail project at a section with poor grade and slope that held water and was always muddy. To make a drainage "knick" we excavated the low spot and made a french drain with lots of rocks, covered it back up with dirt and installed some large rocks as anchors to narrow the trail a bit. This section should prove to be sustainable and not be muddy any longer.
- Removal of at least 3000 lbs of trash including: 13 tires, a sofa, shopping carts, a 1920's era furnace, and concrete slabs!
- About 1/4 of a huge patch of invasive bamboo was removed (FOW will return to the site for further clearing)
- 16 crates of recyclable bottles and cans collected and removed!
