Some Background on Pass It Forward
Pass It Forward is a PMBA program with the mission of collecting and distributing gently used and new mountain-bike clothing and equipment (including bikes) for Prescott area youth riders so they may fully and safely enjoy the sport.
Pass It Forward was born when adult riders witnessed that some of Prescott’s young mountain bikers were riding without padded bike shorts. Many of these young people didn’t own gloves or eye protection. Some owned just one bike jersey (if any) and wore it every time they rode. Others expressed an interest in moving to clipless pedals but couldn’t afford the shoes or pedals.
The Pass It Forward program offers area riders the opportunity to not only clean out our closets but also to contribute to the future of biking in our community, to help foster a healthy active community, and to encourage young riders to stay on their bikes by enhancing their riding experience.
