For most of you, your patrolling season is about to end. But bike patrollers are just now preparing for our upcoming season! Many of the bike patrollers you see out there are, in fact, year-round patrol members, also serving as alpine or Nordic patrollers in the winter.
Coming this Summer from the Bike Program
• Watch for upcoming events and news. The bike program is still developing and growing across our division. Bike patrollers across the U.S. serve in many areas, including urban roads/gravel trails, in XC/backcountry locations, and at downhill/gravity bike parks (these work more like the typical alpine patrol).
• Curious about bike patrolling? Come to one of our summer bike patroller schools! Any NSP member is welcome, including hosts, physician partners, alpine patrollers, and Nordic patrollers. As of now, we have two scheduled. The first will be in June/July in the Genesee Valley Region and will be XC-oriented. The second is scheduled for September 12-13, 2026 at HoliMont Bike Park in WNY and will be at a downhill park.
• If you’d like to learn more about bike patrolling or get some bike training, we have instructors who are ready to teach classes in WNY, GVR, EMARI, WMASS, NJ, SVT, and EPA.
• Interested in getting qualified to teach in the bike program? Talk to a bike program region advisor, one of our instructors, or email Tim Franz (Bike Program Supervisor) or John Wolf (Assistant Bike Program Supervisor).
