Flagstaff Biking.org has created a Mobile Trail Crew to help provide a safe and enjoyable experience for all trail users in the Flagstaff Forests. The role of Trail Crew is to do trail maintenance, provide minor first aid, equipment repairs, assistance, offer tourism information, and to encourage responsible etiquette and involvement.
14 volunteers were trained by the FS. If you are interested in getting involved contact Carl, our outreach coordinator, at 773-4694 or email.

Visit FlagstaffBiking.org or email Carl to be notified how to volunteer for the 2005 Trail Days.

FlagVelo, a group of northern Arizona cyclists committed to promoting recreational and competitive cycling have several regularly scheduled weekly rides, for riders of all abilities. Check www.flagvelo.com for ride times.

Believing in the goodness of the bike is simple for us at Absolute Bikes, we find ourselves surrounded by them daily. We ride our bikes to work, we ride our bikes for fun, we work on bikes so that you will love your bike once again, and, of course, we sell bikes to put food on the table. We, like you perhaps, are true believers in the nobility of the bike. But a wise person once advised true believers everywhere, regardless of their creed, to "put your money where your mouth is," a statement that gets to the heart of advocacy. To advocate means to stand up and speak out about an issue you believe in and, as we have noted above, we believe in the inherent goodness and practicality of bikes. Therefore, many of us at Absolute Bikes advocate for bikes on a regular basis as members of the Flagstaff Bicycle Advisory Committee, as volunteers on USFS-sponsored trail workdays, and by promoting youth bicycle safety programs such as SAFE KIDS, as well as a host of other bike-consciousness-raising events throughout the year.
