Who Is COMTB?

Colorado Mountain Bike Coalition (COMTB) is a coalition of Colorado non-profit mountain bike and trail organizations. Our vision is for world-class trail experiences across Colorado for all mountain bikers. Our mission is to strengthen the individual and collective impact of Coalition members to protect and expand mountain biking access. We address statewide challenges and opportunities and make positive and lasting changes in communities across Colorado.

COMTB & Bicycle Colorado

In response to the growing popularity of mountain biking, over the last 30 years, trail building and mountain bike advocacy nonprofits have surfaced across the state. These grassroots, mostly volunteer-supported organizations have played an essential role in maintaining and building most of the trails that make Colorado a great place to mountain bike. 

Unfortunately, many of these nonprofits lack the resources needed to meet the challenges they face, and they struggle to realize efficiencies or cost savings that come with scale.

In 2022, with support from Bicycle Colorado, local advocates launched the Colorado Mountain Bike Coalition to strengthen trail-building and advocacy efforts. The coalition fosters collaboration among its members, with Bicycle Colorado serving as its fiscal sponsor and holding a seat on the board.
