Hawaii Bicycling League

Bike Abroad

We love riding our bicycles on O‘ahu – the scenic beaches, the nearly always perfect weather, the fun encounters of seeing a friend randomly on your ride. But, for those that have wanderlust and want to expand their cycling horizons, HBL puts together trips abroad that feature cycling, adventure, friendship, and fun.

The overseas cycling expeditions have a wide range of variety. From 10-day trips to different countries where we rent bikes to get around and explore new terrain with a local tour guide, to BYOB (bring your own bike) and sail on a cruise ship to neighbor islands where they have that feeling of home but are totally new places to ride! Where will your two-wheels take you next? The possibilities are endless!

Check out some of the past overseas adventures HBL has helped coordinate:

Taiwan Bike Tour

Japan Trip

Hawaiian Islands Cruise

Wherever our trips take us, we look to bring the #RideAloha spirit any where we do.

 

Do you have the desire to travel and see new sights by bicycle? We’d love to hear where you’d like to go! Email Malia at Malia@HBL.org.

If you have done organized bike trips that you want to recommend, email Malia@HBL.org.

 

 

2019 Waikīkī Holiday Parade

Come join us in the 22nd Anniversary of the Waikīkī Holiday Parade on November 29th (Friday)! The Hawaii Bicycling League has been invited to celebrate the festive holiday season while honouring the Pearl Harbor survivors in the Waikīkī Holiday Parade! The parade starts at Fort DeRussy Park and follows Kalākaua Avenue till Kapi’olani Park (~1.5 miles). You can check out the parade route by clicking HERE.

The parade is expected to run from 7:00-9:00pm.  We are allowed to start staging as early as 5:30pm by the post office on Saratoga Road. Please plan to meet us there to decorate your bike and helmet at 6pm! We will bring some garlands and things to dress up our rides, but if you have some festive accessories (lights, garlands, etc.) to deck out your bike then please bring them! You can wear whatever you feel comfortable cruising along in (the more holiday spirit the better!), just make sure it doesn’t interfere with you riding safely.  Riders without a helmet or bikes without a front-facing white light and rear-facing red light will be prohibited from riding in the parade. *Details subject to change

“The Waikiki Holiday Parade commemorates Pearl Harbor by honoring survivors and veterans in memory of the attacks from December 7, 1941. Local Hawaiian bands, marching bands from the mainland, military units, local officials and dignitaries march down torch-lit Kalakaua Avenue along Waikiki Beach. It is held annually the Friday following Thanksgiving Day and hosts thousands of spectators, residents and visitors alike.” For more information, visit their website: waikikiholidayparade.com

Toys for Tots Ride

Toys for Tots Ride with HPD – November 23rd (Sat)

8:00am – noon

HBL and HPD are partnering up to give back to our community by hosting the Toys for Tots Ride where people can come and drop off toys for less fortunate children to bring aloha to them this giving season.

We will be joining forces with the HPS District 6 Bicycle Detail to host a bike ride from Ala Moana Beach Park to Kapi‘olani Park in Waikīkī where participants in the ride would bring a small toy, and ride to Kapi‘olani Park together where the drop off site would be for the toys. This event is open to the community so employees, members, and even other friends, family, or strangers who would like to ride and bring a toy can participate.

If you don’t wish to participate in the biking portion you are welcomed to just show up at Kapi‘olani park to donate a toy. At Kapi‘olani Park there will be some activities for keiki (Keiki ID cards from the Honolulu Police Department, games, etc.). The event will go till noon.

  • Used bikes (see possible types of bikes above!)
  • Bicycle parts – wheel sets, hubs, handlebars, grips, cassettes, shifters, pedals, fenders… Maybe that one elusive part you’ve been looking for everywhere to complete your dream bike build!
  • Bicycle-related items – floor pumps, cycling accessories, bike-related attire, bike lights, home decor featuring our favourite thing (bicycles), and more!
  • Beautiful wood carved items and gifts made by those at the Men’s Shed like koa paddles, hand-crafted kitchen items, holiday decorations, and other gorgeous wood creations.

Looking to sell some of your spare bike parts, bicycle(s) longing to be ridden, or bike-related accessories/items? Be a vendor at the Cycle Swap Meet and get rid of the extra bike things you have sitting around your house (…that means more space for new bike things!).

Vendors are allowed to share a table with someone else (this is to be arranged by the Vendors). Vendors are responsible for all their monetary transactions.

What’s the Honolulu Men’s Shed?

“Men’s Sheds create a space where men can pursue meaningful, creative interests and can socialize with other guys.  They come to see what it’s all about and stay because it’s fun.  They get involved in an intriguing activity, find guys they can talk story with, or just like hanging out with others.” Find out more about the first Men’s Shed in Hawai‘i at their website: HonoluluMensShed.org/about They are normally open on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 9am – 12pm.

* Members of the Honolulu Men’s Shed get free Booth Space (because they are graciously allowing us to have the event in their space!). All proceeds sold from their booth sales go back to the Honolulu Men’s Shed.
