1st Annual Ono Fun Ride!

OFR15

Join us for 18 miles of fun! Start in Kapiolani Park and ride to Hawaii Kai and back. Fun for the whole family!

The first ever Ono Fun Ride kicks off on September 27 at 8:00am from Kapiolani Park, and heads around Diamond Head past stunning ocean views, out to Maunalua Bay Beach Park in Hawaii Kai. Enjoy ono refreshments before returning to Kapiolani Park for live entertainment, prize drawings, and more ono grindz for purchase. All you need is a bicycle and a helmet! HBL is working with local bike dealers to arrange free inspections beforehand to make sure your ride is smooth on the day of the event.

The Ono Fun Ride happens on the the same day as the renowned Honolulu Century Ride, but offers a more casual cycling experience. So grab a friend, or come out with the whole family, and join us for a fabulous day of riding, food, and fun!

BikeEd Hawaii Makes Bicycling Safely Fun

BikeEd ProgramThe Hawaii Bicycling League and the City and County of Honolulu have partnered to bring BikeEd Hawaii to fourth graders on Oahu. This comprehensive bicycle safety program teaches our keiki how to ride safely in our communities. Through the efforts of many, the BikeEd(sm) Hawaii program has provided the knowledge and basic skills to begin to navigate school neighborhoods safely as bicyclists and pedestrians. Parents are encouraged to bike and walk with your child to develop these skills.

  • Parent volunteers are welcome!

What Will Students Learn?

  • The “6-Point Bicycle Safety Check” (Air, Brakes, Chain, Handlebar, Pedals, Seat)
  • Ride on the RIGHT side of the road and stay on CHECKPOINT (2-3 ft. from the curb or parked vehicle)
  • Correct procedures at stop signs, inter-sections, and U-turns

I just want to take a moment to thank your organization for teaching my son, Aidan, to ride a bike!! I have tried to for years, but because he is big for his age, I couldn’t find training wheels that would support him. He is so excited about riding a bike that we are going to be getting him a bike for Christmas. I can’t wait to ride as a family around our subdivision. Please thank the instructors that made this happen.” – Chrysti
