About PFTS

A nonprofit, riding-powered trail engine in the NC Piedmont.

Education, promotion, and enrichment of sustainable mountain biking - and the communities they serve. 501(c)(3) since the 90s.

Our vision -

Via an organized, deeply inclusive effort - a positive attitude toward mountain biking in the Triad and beyond.

Our vision includes maintaining the existing trails, developing new ones, and offering educational and social programs that help build a strong sense of community - one that reaches the Triad and well past it.

We are committed to creating an environment that is diverse, inclusive, and equitable, where all members are treated with respect and dignity. For the purposes of this statement, diversity refers to race, gender, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexual identity, familial status, age, disability, and socio-economic status.

  • Stewardship

    We build it, then we keep it rolling.

  • Partnerships

  • Inclusiveness

    Every rider, every level, every bike.

  • Sustainability

    Build it sustainable or don't build it.

    We do the right thing in the woods.

Dirt under the fingernails
