Will be available! We don' t know how many we'll have ready or how much they will cost yet, but we'll be outside registration on Fest Friday for your pedaling pleasure.

Bring your own locks and lights with you!

We'll post more details as soon as we have 'em worked out.

Yaaay, welcome Amber!

I'm going to redirect all bike related threads here.

I'm staying on SW13, I want a bike so much!

I really really would like to rent or borrow a bike.

this is a really cool idea! would rent!

I have bigger luggage this year, maybe I can bring The Insanity Manatee (see: my pixie bike)! If not, I will see you at registration!

I <3 Bikes!

I got a few questions for some of the details because I read that these move quick :

1. How much?
2. How long can you rent them out for?
3. Can you reserve one?

A bike would really REALLY help.

Here is your step-by-step guide to Fest BIKE rental:

Renting
1) Find us in the Holiday Inn parking lot during registration on Friday- we'll be there from 11am until all the bikes are gone or 4pm.

2) Bring $75 cash.*

3) Scope our fleet and pick your chariot.

4) Give us your money and fill out a short info card/liability waiver.

5) Hit the streets!

* We have a few two-wheeled wonders that are especially unique, valuable, or otherwise dear to our hearts that will cost more. Rental price is the same, you just gotta put down more collateral.

Returning

Option 1
1) Make your way to The Kickstand at any time during the weekend.

2) Go to our merch table/concession booth and find a volunteer.

3) Turn in your Fest bike

4) Get $35 back. (Or if you rented one of our sweethearts, get all of your cash minus $40 back)

Option 2
1) Using the lock we give you with your bike, lock your Fest bike up on the bike racks outside the Holiday Inn or outside the courthouse on Main St.

2) Call/text us with your name, bike number and location of bike.

3) Once we retrieve your bike we'll mail you a check/money order for $35. (Or all of your cash minus $40)

Option 3
1) Keep your bike.

2) Give your bike away.

3) Lose your bike.


We don't have any way to reserve bikes--sorry--get there early or send a local friend.

If you're staying in town for a few days after Fest and want to keep your bike for longer, we can probably work something out--just talk to us at registration.

Please bring your own lights. We don't have any to loan out.

16 days!

Some fine folks donated 30 brand new locks to us so we WILL have locks for rent with your Fest bikes. We'll take $15 from you and give you $10 back when you return the lock. Still no lights, so bring those with you if you wanna be legal.

We've got about 30 bikes--not all of 'em are pretty but they'll get you around.

See you Friday!
