Adaptive Mountain Biking
The Ultimate Access to Your Local Trails
Experience the thrill of navigating your way through the forest on miles of mountain bike trails.
Our adaptive mountain bike program currently takes place at two locations: Asheville, NC, and Knoxville, TN. If you would like to try mountain biking we have a fleet of adaptive mountain bikes including e-assist options. Equipment and a trail guide are included when you register for a program.
