Adaptive Mountain Biking

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. Visit the location page to find out when the next event will take place or if you are interested in volunteering on the trail join our next training.
