“Exposing kids to mountain biking and the outdoors is an important part of what we do through our education program,” Stacy Karacostas, Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance communication and membership director, said in a statement. “Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day is a great way to get kids hooked on a fun and healthy activity while creating the next generation of outdoor athletes and advocates”.
Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day celebrates the life of Jack Doub, a teenage mountain biker from North Carolina who had a passion for the sport from a young age until his death in 2002.
