POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
In Town Transportation


Your bike and your feet will be your primary travel methods during our events.

All supported facilities and services will be within a reasonable distance to walk or cycle to. Safe cycling routes between all supported facilities and services in each stopping town are provided on the in town cue sheets and maps and satellite imagery for each stopping town.

We cannot provide transportation for you, your bicycle, or your baggage between any locations in town. Our support vehicles are not taxicabs and we do not have the resources to transport you wherever you want to go whenever you want.

When you bike anywhere in each town we recommend always bringing your lock with you to keep your bike safe. If you bike somewhere in town with another participant we also recommend locking your bikes together for added security. If a criminal sees a bunch of nice bikes sitting together they'll be less likely to mess with all of them as opposed to a nice one sitting alone by itself out of sight because they'll figure that everyone will be watching out for everyone else's bike.

Alternate In Town Transportation Services

Local Public Transportation
If you don't feel like walking or biking after a long day on the road or want to go somewhere in town that is not a reasonable distance to walk or bike to, when available you can use the local bus or train services or call a taxicab which can be relatively quick and inexpensive, especially if you want to split the ride with your fellow participants. Phone numbers for all available local bus and train services and taxicabs are listed on all in town maps.

Events Bike Ride Services
When available, Events Bike Ride Services can shuttle you, your bike, and your baggage within each stopping town. This is perfect if you have a change of plans and decide to stay in our supported hotel after you arrive or if need help getting to or from the Amtrak train station if you are doing a partial day trip.
