We’ll cap off our time on one of the planet’s best-engineered bike paths by participating in a once-in-four-year mass cycling event, the Cycling Shimanami Event! Limited to 15 participants.

Itinerary (subject to change)

6 hotel/hostel nights Total ride distance = Approximately 170-mi

Folding Bike/Public Transportation Travel Concept 

All bridges should have bike paths!

Because of the nature of this unique sightseeing trip, bikes that can be folded within 10 minutes and completely contained within a bike bag are required (Brompton, Bike Friday, Tern, Dahon, etc.). Don’t own a folding bike of your own? Bromptons in limited numbers are rentable in Hawaii for approximately $195 for the entire trip through  Ebikes Hawaii. All ground travel will be by public transportation (no special hire trucks/buses). Bicycles on trains must be completely contained within a bike bag, as there will be many on/off points for train rides. It is also highly recommended to travel as lightly as possible. Essentially, we will need to carry everything with us during the entire trip. Hawaii-Japan bike containers for the flight to/from Japan may be stored at Kansai Airport, where we fly in and out of, for ~$10 per day.

*Notes on Pricing:

– Includes airfare, public train/bus ground transportation, double occupancy hotel and hostel accommodations (clean, comfortable with private bathroom/shower), and breakfasts.

– Does NOT include lunches, dinners (basic food estimated at $30/day). Does not include attraction admissions and travel insurance (recommended) estimated at $20). (Total food, attraction admissions and travel insurance estimated $50/day). Does not include any other incidental expenses (such as bag storage at airport or freight forwarding (takyubin) estimated at $15/day).

– Assumes low-cost carrier basic fares without additional fuel surcharges (this includes 1-2 carry-on bags within 15-lbs, and one checked bag such as your bike with any extra items.

Pricing will be higher for the individual if a full-service carrier is adopted, and/or premium class seating is desired, and/or fuel prices rise substantially prior to actual booking.

– Based on current USD-JPY exchange rate of approximately 105 yen/dollar. Pricing may change if the rate at the time of booking differs substantially.

– Based on current best estimates of all related costs. Pricing may change if these actual costs differ substantially.

Accommodations 

Dogo Onsen, Matsuyama

Accommodations are double occupancy (2-3 star). However, night #5 immediately prior to the event in

Imabari may be triple or even quadruple occupancy in a 4-star hotel (event headquarters). Pricing will be higher for guaranteed single occupancy (no single occupancy available on night #5). Laundry facilities are available in hotels, so 2-3 days of clothing should suffice.

Trip Modification/Extension

Participants may opt to modify their trip around our planned start/end dates in Japan, either arriving early, or staying on after the group departure on 10/29. A $450 airfare allowance will be deducted from the final total tour price. No other allowances will be made. (For example, no further discounts will be applied for a missed hotel night or any rail pass differential.) 

Visa Requirements

Citizens of the United States (and many other nations) are issued a 90-day tourist visa upon arrival in Japan at no cost. If you are traveling on a non-US passport, please verify your requirements. All passports must have at least 6 months of validity from the date of entry (expiry beyond April 23, 2019). Please verify your passport validity and apply for renewal immediately if necessary. A passport with sufficient validity is required to apply for participation in the trip.

Ride Leader Information

Ride Leader Certification

HBL will be starting a new program to certify those interested in leading rides! Group rides are a great way to meet new people, connect with old friends, find new routes, and introduce others to the joy of cycling. Being a Ride Leader is great fun, but also comes with a lot of responsibility. Through HBL’s Ride Leader Certification Program we will make sure you are equipped to handle any group ride and lead it with confidence and certainty.

To be an HBL certified Ride Leader, you must complete the following:

  1. Ride Leader Training session – This training is meant to bring standardization to group riding procedures that focuses on safety as well as fun. It covers what it means to be a Ride Leader, best practices on route planning, crash protocols, and more. (Training scheduled as needed.)
  2. Road Cycling Skills workshop – This on-bike workshop covers group riding skills, cyclists rules & responsibilities, helmet & bike fit, teaches you how to do hazard avoidance maneuvers, and more. (Sign by clicking HERE)
  3. Basic Bike Maintenance workshop – This hands-on workshop goes over how to fix a flat with ease, equipment safety checks, and how to perform general maintenance on your bike. (Sign by clicking HERE)

You must also have a valid CPR certification. HBL will be organizing CPR certification classes for Ride Leaders on an as-needed basis. You can either attend a scheduled CPR class with HBL and other Ride Leaders or obtain your certification on your own.

Extra points:

  • You are a current HBL member.
  • You are or become a League Cycling Instructor, certified nationally by the League of American Bicyclists. (O‘ahu LCI Seminar: July 20 – 22, 2018)
  • You encourage more people to ride or lead rides. Cycling is fun, and even fun-er with friends! 🙂

Once you complete all Ride Leader requirements HBL will formally present you your certification! This should be renewed annually.

What are the perks of being a formal Ride Leader?

1 – Ride Leaders leading an HBL affiliated group ride (RHL Roving Ride, Start Off the Week Right ride, etc.) are covered by HBL’s insurance.

2 – People riding under your leadership must call you Leader and listen to you! Think about the power you’ll have!

3 – You get the satisfaction and inexplainable joy of knowing that you are helping people get riding, get active, and enjoy Hawai‘i (by two-wheels)!

4 – The Ride Leader who leads the most rides will be formally recognized at the HBL Annual Dinner & Fundraiser (in January)!
