Mission Statement
We, TheCrankCrew - based in Horsham, PA, are a non-profit alliance of mountain bikers and off-road cyclists dedicated to creating, enhancing and protecting riding opportunities in the surrounding Philadelphia area.
Our Focus
As the sport of mountain biking has grown in the last 30 years from a niche sport to a mainstream activity for hundreds of thousands of outdoor enthusiasts across America, the need for more bike-accessible trails and improving existing trails has become more pressing. We are passionate rider advocates who recognize that action is required to maintain and expand our treasured sport and outdoor lifestyle. We have been working hard to represent the mountain bike community in our city and surrounding region and work with local land owners and agencies to build and maintain trails, help allocate funding for new trails, and mitigate user conflicts.
Over the upcoming year, our organization will go through a major rebranding and restructuring, aimed at expanding our focus to all types of off-road cycling within our geographic area, including cross-country style singetrack trails, skills parks, sustainable freeride and downhill trails, and "natural surface trails" as an alternative to paved trails for bike commuting and transportation within the parks. Our goal is to become an alliance of cyclists and trail advocates who share a common vision for off-road cycling in our region.
