Rhode Island NEMBA’s mission is to create a positive and inclusive mountain biking culture in Rhode Island. We are dedicated to developing and maintaining access to sustainable, environmentally-friendly mountain bike trails, supporting our members, linking communities, supporting local businesses, and promoting the general health of our local population and the protection of open spaces.

The RI Chapter of NEMBA
We are a group of volunteers that are passionate about building, protecting, and growing sustainable mountain biking opportunities throughout Rhode Island. We advocate for safe, sustainable, and legal multi-use trail systems, working collaboratively with land managers, agencies, and community partners to ensure our trails remain accessible, enjoyable, and responsibly maintained for everyone.
Together with our members, land managers, local governments, and fellow outdoor organizations, we strive to:
- Protect and preserve access to Rhode Island’s trail systems
- Create events that inspire wellness, connection, and a love of the outdoors
- Welcome, support, and engage new riders of all backgrounds and experience levels
- Educate and strengthen the mountain biking community
- Promote respectful, responsible riding that protects our environment and enhances the experience for all trail users
Through fundraising, merchandise sales, and community support, we work to:
- Fund trail building, maintenance, and stewardship projects through our organization and by supporting other trail-focused groups
- Give back through philanthropic efforts, including supporting bike-centric initiatives and organizations such as the Rhode Island Food Bank
We believe mountain biking is about more than riding trails — it’s about building community, caring for the places we ride, and creating opportunities for people to connect with the outdoors.
