Off-Road Trail Biking
Recently, we’ve been exploring off-road trail biking with some of our volunteers here in North Texas. Although our area does not have mountains, this activity is often called mountain biking because of the type of bike used. Mountain biking involves riding on unpaved trails, weaving through nature, and enjoying Allah’s beautiful outdoors.

Our Experience
Alhamdulillah, our experience has been uplifting! Parents and children are spending quality time together, families are connecting, and everyone is benefiting from the joy of fresh air and exercise. One of the most beautiful aspects we've observed is how more experienced kids take the time to guide younger or less experienced riders. They teach safety protocols, share proper techniques, and encourage one another. These moments foster leadership, patience, and bonding in a way that is both natural and impactful.
Through these activities, families can experience:
- Special family time beyond the home
- Stronger community connections
- Safe ways for children to explore nature
- Growth in health, confidence, and discipline
- Opportunities for kids to lead and guide others
- Learning the effects of their decisions and progress
- Living out Islamic values of gratitude, reflection, and care for one another
Allah says: “Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding.” (Qur’an 3:190)
We are now preparing a structured program to make outdoor family activities more accessible for all. Guidance, resources, and support will be provided so no family feels uncertain about where to start.
Please be on the lookout for our upcoming presentation, where we will share:
- How families can get started with trail biking and outdoor activities
- Practical tips on equipment, safety, and local trails
- Resources and support to make the experience easy and enjoyable for everyone
- Ways your family can be part of this new initiative from the beginning
