Local Loam | Jeff Kendall-Weed Travels to Mexico City to Explore the Mountain Biking Scene

Following up on his local loam series, Jeff and Logan headed down to Mexico City to learn the story of the De Avila brothers, and how the mountain scene is absolutely blowing up.

Mau De Avila, Santi De Avila, and Jorge De Avila are all fixtures in the Mexico City mountain bike scene today. When they were kids, their father used to lead guided rides and teach mountain biking classes- after he passed, the three brothers got together and re-established his business. Concurrently, the mountain bike scene in Mexico City has blossomed into something very significant, and that’s IMO in no small part to the role the De Avila family has played. Today, the De Avila Biking Co not only hosts classes and clinics at the family bike park, but also has after school programs for kids in Mexico City, a fleet of rental bikes, and offers guided rides tailored to Mexico City locals.
