THIS IS NOT A RACE – ALL RIDERS MUST WEAR HELMETS.

FAQ:
All bicycles (with operable pedals) that can be ridden safely by it’s operator are allowed for this event. Road bikes, tandems, fixies, recumbents, mountain bikes, Biki bikes, pedal-assist bikes… All good!
Those that will be using a pedal-assist e-bike for this event will register under the E-Bike division.
Since Hawai‘i State law requires those operating electric bicycles (“pedal-assist low speed bicycles”) to be 15 years of age or older if it is registered to a household member, we will not allow those under 15 years old to participate on e-bikes.
As short as 2-miles. As long as you want.
Your best judgement! Bring a map, or your smart phone, or team up with a buddy!
No, you don’t! Be strategic about collecting your points. Want to ride far for more points or cruise around and collect a bunch small points? Ride within your limits.
Yep! You can turn your Manifest in as early as 11:00am at the State Capitol.
Then you aren’t able to win. We won’t be accepting any Manifests if you miss the cutoff at 11:55am. But you can still enjoy the food and award ceremony!
The winner is determined by the person with the highest amount of correct points collected, not by speed. This is not timed, and NOT a race.
No, please bring your own flat repair stuff.
