Tips for biking to THoF events

Bring LIGHTS, a LOCK, and a HELMET. After dark; your lights will make you SAFE and VISIBLE.
Expect heavy traffic on Newport’s streets. Ride carefully, follow rules of the road, pay extra attention to motorists, and give yourself time to get there safely.
Newport is known for its history and beauty – but not so much for the condition of the roads. Watch for pot holes and ruts!
There is no charge to park your bike at the event, though donations are welcome and encouraged! Your donations support Bike Newport’s vital nonprofit community work.

PARK & BIKE:

Coming from out of town? No problem. You can park and leave your car anywhere in Newport where long-term parking is permitted (be sure to check signs for restrictions), or you can head straight to “Park & Bike” lots located right off the Pell Bridge and at Newport County YMCA.
