EMBA is all about the trails. If there were no trails, there would be reduced sales of mountain bikes. With open, challenging trails, and the recognition by the city that mountain biking is a legitimate trail use, sales increase. Mountain biking is a unique sport. More than that, it is a lifestyle for those of us who are hooked. It is a lifestyle that demands us to take a custodian role in our environment. This responsibility cannot fall on the shoulders of one individual or group of individuals. It is a shared responsibility to provide the sweat equity in maintaining our trails and a unified political voice in keeping the North Saskatchewan River Valley singletrack trails open.
