The Marin Bike Patrol is a volunteer organization dedicated to keeping Marin trails safe and accessible. We partner with local land managers to help riders and promote responsible mountain biking. Patrolling in pairs and equipped with radios, Marin Bike Patrol members provide a vital link between recreational trail users and park staff.

Bike Patroller Responsibilities Include:

• Reporting and responding to injuries and accidents.
• Troubleshooting trail hazards, obstacles and dangers.
• Assisting riders with faulty equipment.
• Educating trail users about safe and low-impact trail-usage.
• Building relationships among all kinds of trail users.

Patroller Requirements:

• Mountain bike proficiency on a variety of terrain.
• Commitment of 50 hours per year.
• IMBA Bike Patrol Membership ($50 per year).
• First aid training is a plus though not required of members.
• Basic knowledge of bike mechanics and familiarity with bike tools.

The Marin Bike Patrol is sponsored by BTC Marin and Access4Bikes and affiliated with the IMBA National Mountain Bike Patrol. IMBA patrols operate across the country to provide emergency care, mechanical assistance and environmental stewardship. By building bonds with local communities, these patrols have helped open thousands of miles of trails to mountain bikers.
