The Mountain Bike Association of Arizona will be donating $5000 to Flagstaff Biking Organization to hire an American Conservation Experience (ACE) crew to do some much needed maintenance on lower Moto Trail!
MBAA organizes the annual State mountain bike race series, and also contribute to trail work through encouraging racers to volunteer in exchange for additional points toward the State championship title.
A huge thanks to these guys for giving some back to the local trails.

PLEASE MAKE AN EFFORT TO ATTEND THIS MEETING AND SHOW SUPPORT FOR THESE CHANGES TO THE LOCAL BICYCLE ORDINANCES!!
The City Council will be reviewing these new bicycle ordinances at their meeting scheduled for December 6th at City Hall. The proposed revisions have been discussed and reviewed extensively by the Bicycle Advisory Committee for the past several years. On June 3, 2010, the Bicycle Advi…sory Committee unanimously approved a motion to recommend the proposed revisions to Title 9, Chapter 05, of the Flagstaff City Code to the Traffic Commission. On July 7, 2010, the proposed revisions were reviewed by the City’s Transportation Commission and recommended to the City Council.
You can check out the new ordinances here.
City Council Meetings start at 5:30 pm. At this point we are not sure at what time the Council will be reviewing the bicycle ordinance revisions during the evening.

Join Flagstaff Biking Organization for the Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival tonight at the Orpheum Theater for “Bike Night” Movies!
Here’s a short description of the movies:
IF I RIDE
“We all ride for our own reasons, but we all want the same thing: a better future for bicycling. “If I Ride” is a bicycle rider’s poem to biking. Our goal at Peopleforbikes.org is to gather a million names of support, to speak with one, powerful voice—to make bicycling safer, more convenient and appealing for everyone. Simply put, we believe that life is far more enjoyable when its experienced on two wheels. We believe that by coming together, we can make our world a better place to ride.”
WITH MY OWN TWO WHEELS
“For many Americans, the bicycle is a choice, an expensive toy, an eco-conscious mode of transportation. For others across the globe, it is much more. For a health worker in Zambia, it’s a means of reaching twice as many patients. For a teenager in India, it provides access to education. For a farmer in Guatemala, it’s a way to help neighbors reduce their impact on the environment. This film weaves together their experiences into a single story about how the bicycle can change the world.”
LE GRAND DETOUR
“Delphine and Damien ride across forbidden Tibet on their tandem bike for 2.5 months and make a break along the way in Lhassa to capture the Tibetan folk’s unmovable faith under Chinese occupation. Luckily enough, the Chinese authorities decide not to stop them. They then reach Nepal and India, where they experience the hardest cultural gap they’ve ever known. Exhausted but marveling at India’s incredible life, they finally make it back home through the Old Continent—Turkey, Bulgaria, Bosnia—meeting fascinating people on the way.”
Check out more details on the movies here! We hope to see you tonight!!
