The organization which was initially founded\u00a0by US Marines\u00a0Jake Wood and William McNulty to help with the Haiti earthquake in 2010, seeks to\u00a0unite the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders to rapidly deploy emergency response teams.<\/p>\n<p>Currently Team Rubicon uses bikes in deployments where\u00a0teams cannot easily access disaster sites by any other means of transport. Often times roads are blocked to automobile traffic, and\u00a0floods or\u00a0wildfires can prevent normal routes of travel from being used. A mountain bike and trailer of supplies like the one below can allow for help to previously unreachable locations, while the folding feature makes them easy to transport. You can even donate to Team Rubican yourself to help them build their fleet of\u00a0Montague bikes\u00a0and help serve their mission. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.teamrubiconusa.org\/join-the-team\/the-giver\/tr-wishlist\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to see more<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9260\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.teamrubiconusa.org\/join-the-team\/the-giver\/tr-wishlist\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9260\" class=\"wp-image-9260 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.montaguebikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/team-rubicon-montague-folding-bike-paratrooper-e1411662799899.jpg\" alt=\"team rubicon montague folding bike paratrooper\" width=\"700\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.montaguebikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/team-rubicon-montague-folding-bike-paratrooper-e1411662799899.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.montaguebikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/team-rubicon-montague-folding-bike-paratrooper-e1411662799899-400x213.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.montaguebikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/team-rubicon-montague-folding-bike-paratrooper-e1411662799899-510x272.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.montaguebikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/team-rubicon-montague-folding-bike-paratrooper-e1411662799899-300x160.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-9260\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Team Rubicon Bike Kit with Montague Paratrooper folding bike<\/p><\/div>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While our first folding bikes were created to help people to commute more easily, our current design was developed for the US Military.\u00a0Our bikes helped USMC\u00a0Paratroopers serve their mission, and to this day many\u00a0other organizations use Montague bikes to serve their mission of helping people.
