Yes, children of all ages are welcome to watch the event and enjoy the Kids Zone. However, registered riders must be 4'11 "in height and 10 years old to participate.

We recommend that you wear a hat and sunscreen since we are completely outdoors. All bikes are provided with a water bottle and towel.

The bikes will be equipped only to accommodate tennis shoes or cycling shoes with SPD clips only. Look pedals are not supported.

There will be a huge expo, with food and beverage samples from our sponsors.

There is so much to do in beautiful Manhattan Beach, including shopping, dining, and of course, hitting the beach. Visit the Downtown Business District website for great ideas on how to make the most of your stay in Manhattan Beach.

Please click here for Parking Information. Volunteer, Sponsor & Exhibitor parking will be emailed in advance of the event.

Yes, we encourage you to ride your bike and will have a Complimentary Bike Valet. Leave your strollers and bikes in our complimentary Bike Valet adjacent to the Expo. The Bike Valet will open at 8:00 am and all bikes need to be claimed by 2:00 p.m.

The person who registers as a team captain is responsible for recruiting up to four other team members to ride, and for scheduling the ride times for each rider. All bikes need to be filled with 5 riders. We don't want to see any empty bikes!

A team is a group of up to 5 co-workers, neighbors, friends, family, or fellow students who each register and take turns riding one stationary bike over the 5 hour event. Each team member pays a $50 registration fee and fundraises at least $100, so that each bike raises at least $750.

Yes, every team member must register online in advance, sign the waiver, pay the registration fee and meet the fundraising minimum. Your team should be filled by Monday May 5, 2025.

It is up to the Team Captain to coordinate with his or her team members to determine which of the five sessions each participant will ride.

While we encourage everyone to stay and enjoy the expo, team members are welcome to leave after their individual 50 minute session. Each team member must check in individually at registration upon arriving at the event.

If you want to ride together with your friends, you should each reserve your own bike and not join the same team. As a team, each member will ride the same bike during different sessions. During registration, you should indicate that you are all a part of the same Bike Family.

Only 5 people can be registered to ride on one bike, so if you have additional team members, you will need to assign a second team captain and reserve a second bike. You will need to join the same "Bike Family" during the registration process. We will attempt to place all bikes in the same Bike Family adjacent to each other.

You should arrive 30 minutes prior to your scheduled shift. When you arrive, check-in at the Volunteer Check-In booth located on the north side of Manhattan Beach Blvd west of Manhattan Avenue, toward the bottom of the hill. You will need to sign in, get a volunteer vest or shirt (depending on the day you volunteer), and fill out a name tag. You will then be assigned a Team Lead; this is the person you will be working under during your shift.

We don't offer complimentary parking for volunteers. We strongly encourage carpooling and/or being dropped off. If you come via taxi, Uber, or Lyft, Manhattan Beach Police require that you get dropped off at the northeast corner of Valley Drive & Manhattan Beach Blvd in Manhattan Beach, CA 90266. Walk down Manhattan Beach Blvd towards the ocean and you will find our event. Drivers attempting to drop off passengers closer to our event may be ticketed by police.

In addition to metered street parking, there are many public parking lots in the Downtown Manhattan Beach area. Check out all the parking lot information on the Downtown Manhattan Beach website.

All volunteers will be provided with a safety vest or volunteer t-shirt (depending on the day you volunteer), to identify you throughout the event. Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes. This is an outdoor event, so shade will be limited. Please wear a hat, sunglasses, and most importantly sunscreen!

Water and light snacks will be available. There are lots of restaurants and sandwich shops right next to the event if you want to purchase food. Let your team captain know if you need to temporarily leave your assigned post so that we can cover your spot until you return. We ask that large groups do not all leave at the same time we need to fill each post throughout the entire event.

Please leave big purses and backpacks at home! We do not have any storage space at the event and cannot be held responsible for any lost or stolen items.

Signed service letters will be provided at the end of your shift upon request.

Final instructions are emailed out to each volunteer one week before the event. If you haven't received an email by May 15th, please check your spam folder.
