    Laura Neighbors has a passion for sharing the joy of mountain biking. With years of riding and racing experience, she thrives on empowering others and helping riders build confidence.

Her energy is infectious, and she loves working with beginners—kids and adults alike—showing them they can achieve more than they ever imagined.
