About Imba-Uk

We are the only organisation solely representing mountain bikers in the UK.

Imba-Uk Description

The rapid growth in the popularity of mountain bike recreation in the UK has led to an increasing need for a wide range of trails and riding opportunities. The partnership developed with the Forestry Commission has provided high quality MTB trails in Wales and Scotland, with an increasing commitment in England. IMBA UK aims to provide a focus for UK mountain bikers to work with public and private land and trail managers by:

Building and supporting a strong and effective volunteer MTB network.
Working with the Forestry Commission and other landowners to build new trails.
Developing positive relationships with government agencies and Local Authorities.
Cultivating partnerships with cycle clubs, cycle shops and the cycle industry.
Working with other UK cycle organisations to maximise benefits for mountainbikers.
A successful IMBA UK will ensure that we have a strong and effective voice to enable us to build new trails, help maintain the existing network, and to defend our recreation against trail closures or restrictions.
