About Us |

BikeNet is a non-profit, 501c3, grass-roots organization that supports urban trails in and around the Billings community. We are people like you that want to create a better place to live. We are individuals, families, and businesses that join BikeNet to increase awareness for trails in our community, raise money to use as matching funds for trails, or simply go out and enjoy them. ENJOY the Trail System! Spread the word ... tell your family and friends to help us help trails! |
