Bike and Participant Transportation & Arrival Times
Velocity features a complimentary transportation system for you and your bike. For bike rental information, click here.
Your bike will ride on a truck while you ride on a coach bus. There are two likely scenarios for your transportation needs (unless you are getting to and from Velocity on your own):
1. You and your bike will need transportation from NYC up to your Start Area before Velocity.
2. You are driving yourself to your Start Area and thus you and your bike will need transportation back to your Start Area after Velocity.
*All bikes must be dropped off on 9/30 or 10/1 for transportation to Start Areas for morning ride outs. Bikes will be securely stored at each Start Area.
**Secure bike parking is available at the Finish Line for you while you enjoy the festival. All bikes must be picked up by 4:00 p.m.
*Parking for the duration of the event is available at each Start Area
**Participant shuttles depart to Start Areas at 2:30, 3:30 and 4:00 p.m. Bikes should be dropped off at bike shipping immediately upon crossing the Finish Line. All bikes must be picked up at Start Areas by 6:00 p.m.
BIKE SHIPPING AND RIDER TRANSPORT BEFORE VELOCITY:
If you need us to ship your bike up to your Start Area, your bike must be placed on your assigned truck on Friday, September 30 between 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. or Saturday, October 1 between 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on West 169th Street and Fort Washington Avenue. You'll then return to West 169th Street on Sunday morning to board a rider transport bus at a time assigned based on your Start Area and Velocity distance. When you arrive at your Start Area, your bike will be waiting for you.
BIKE SHIPPING AND RIDER TRANSPORT AFTER VELOCITY:
If you're driving and parking at your Start Area or getting dropped off there, you may need bike shipping and a rider shuttle back to your Start Area after the Finish Line Festival. After crossing the finish line, we recommend you place your bike on your assigned truck before you head to the festival. After you enjoy the festival, a rider shuttle will whisk you back to your Start Area where your bike will be waiting for you (unless you leave right away...then your bike might need a few minutes to catch up).
