Celebrate the rhythm of bicycling with HBL throughout the month of May–with a kiss of April.  We’re featuring a variety of fun and informative events you’ll not want to miss!

More on 'Mele' and It's Meaning

Bicycling, like a song, can flow slowly like a singing stream, or be fast & driving like a pounding drum. In Hawaiian language, “mele” means song or chant, and can also be used as a word for “joy”.
 
Songs and music have the ability to move us, be a place of inspiration as well as solace, and connect people of all walks of life. Just as bicycles do! So however you choose to bike, we invite you to celebrate the sweet-song that is cycling, in harmony together.
 
So… what moves you?

MELE METRIC CENTURY (Registration Open)

 April 30 – May 9

Get your bikes in tune to rock and roll anywhere from 50 kilometers to 500 over these ten days.  Bike for fun, prizes, swag and more.  Aid stations and packet pickup are back! Learn more and register now.

FASTEST FLAT FIXER CONTEST (Qualifier Event)

May 15 (Saturday)

We’re putting together a head to head showdown to find out who is the Fastest Flat Fixer on O‘ahu. If you think you’re pretty handy wielding a set of tire levers and a pump, you need to be here! This exciting event will kick off HBL’s brand new Academy of Bicycling, and serve as the qualifier event for the “FASTEST FLAT FIXER Championship” on May 22nd. There will also be a Fix-a-Flat workshop offered for no charge for those building up their mechanic abilities. Come to compete, come to learn, or come just for the pure entertainment! #GetPumped

#SafeUs 3-FEET RIDE

Many motorists don’t know it’s the law that bicyclists must be given at least 3 feet of clearance when passing. We’re gonna make sure they know!  Mele Metric Century register riders are already signed up. Join us and receive a special bike sign to place on your bike and be part of an attention-getting event.
