Mission: Mountainbikingisnotacrime's mission is to increase public awareness of what mountain-bikers do to help sustain and care for trails, showing mountain-bikers broad demographic, and to draw attention to the inequity of trail cycling restrictions in BC by exerting political pressure on elected officials to draw their attention to these inequities. 

Mountainbikingisnotacrime is not an organization, only a group of like minded concerned riders who see the pressures of development, politics and population growth squeezing our access to trails and green-spaces. We believe in equal access for trail riding through the incorporation of smart management, cooperative relationships with MTB clubs, and transparency of decision making for public green-spaces.

The “Ride for Trails” is our political statement. Riding our bicycles to the Legislature buildings in the capital of BC will give our politicians an idea of who we are, what we can do to help provide and enhance cycling access, and most importantly to give all riders a sense of community on a provincial level.

We point to organized clubs and societies as the ones to deal with the developing of plans to enhance MTB access, and to implement stewardship relationships for the betterment of public green-spaces. Mountainbikingisnotacrime is a movement, not an organization.

Riders can contribute by voting on our website, spreading the word on the “Ride For Trails”, and showing up on AUGUST 27 to Ride For Trails in downtown Victoria. (Location, times and details to be announced soon on this and many other regional websites)
