They don’t necessarily have the skills or strength, but they have the spirit and enthusiasm. They don’t care about labels, brands or categories; they care about fun. The Best Friends Bike Club is rooted in this spirit. We’re childish—in a good way—and why not? Mountain biking is meant to be fun, and we’re trying to take it back to its roots.
We pinky swear that we’ll:
- Shred some fun trails
- Do a few cool races
- Drink some beers
- Volunteer in our community
- Share our stories
- Say "hi" when we see you on the trail
- Inspire new riders
We'll have about 20 riders doing some cool stuff in 2012. Just look at what we've already been doing...
