Our mission is to promote trail advocacy, sustainable trail development, and responsible cycling.

CAMBr is the Chicago Area Mountain Bikers, a volunteer organization of hundreds of riders who work to ensure that mountain bikers have diverse and challenging local opportunities to enjoy their sport. Our members have donated thousands of work hours to build and improve area trails. 

The mission of the Chicago Area Mountain Bikers is to educate bicyclists, promote responsible trail use, prevent trail closings, maintain and build multi-use natural surface singletrack and freeride cycling opportunities in the Chicago area. CAMBr seeks to promote trail and freeride bicycling through stewardship, environmental and social responsibility, education, and a spirit of cooperation among all trail users, the conservation community, and governing bodies.

WHY IT MATTERS?

Regardless of whether you're a mountain biker, trail runner, hiker, or equestrian enthusiast, if you frequent the natural surface trails across Chicagoland, you've directly experienced the positive impact of CAMBr's efforts. Your backing is what enables us to persist in our mission of advocacy, trail expansion, and fostering responsible trail etiquette.
