Our mission is to educate cyclists in responsible mountain biking, to advocate for appropriate access and to promote community among trail users so all may fully enjoy and preserve the natural spaces of the East Bay. Membership provides funding for our programs and gives us more influence with land managers in getting more access to more places.
The Bicycle Trails Council of the East Bay is a registered 501(c)3 organization. Your tax-deductible membership fee helps educate cyclists in responsible mountain biking and drive advocacy for responsible trail usage throughout the East Bay.
We appreciate our 4,000 followers on MeetUp, but we really love those who step up and join the organization. Nothing that we do would be possible without that generous support. Thank you!
How we use your donation
Trail maintenance and construction needs permits and supplies. Your donations helped build the Oakland Pump Track and fund all of the maintenance work that keeps us riding in Joaquin Miller and Crockett Hills.
We develop and fund partnerships with other non-profit and advocacy groups aligned with our mission, working with land managers to increase access for mountain biking.
Our Gala and Ride Like A Girl ride series require snacks, beer, and insurance. Your donation helps keep the fun going.
