BIKE SHUTTLES & TRANSPORTATION
Leave the bike shuttling to us. Spend more time riding and less time driving in circles with our free bike shuttles to and from nearby trailhead parking lots. Plus, with secure bike parking at the festival grounds, it's easier than ever to ditch the car for the weekend. Read on for trailhead shuttle information, bike parking and more.
Demoing a bike? All demos must be returned to the Exhibitor Village by 5 PM.
Bike Shuttles
Bike shuttles operate every day of the festival, Friday–Sunday, 9 AM – 5:30 PM, and are scheduled to run every 15–30 minutes. Shuttles will transport ticketholders and their bikes to the Galbraith and Chuckanut trailhead parking lots.

- Last departure from trailhead parking lots:
NOTE: Bike shuttles run longer than bike demo hours. All demos MUST be returned to the festival grounds by 5 PM. Plan your rides accordingly!
If you miss the last shuttle from the trailhead, you will need to make your own arrangements to return to the festival. Riders that depart the festival grounds on the last trailhead shuttle should expect to be without return transportation.
Thanks to our shuttle providers Dig Deep Tours, Huckwagons, Intrinsic Flow and Transcadia Excursions.
Trailhead Parking
Unable to take the shuttle to a trailhead? Parking is available at Galbraith and Chuckanut, but space is very limited. Please consider taking our free bike shuttle, available to all valid single-day and three-day ticket holders throughout the weekend.

Bike Parking
Secure bike parking is available by donation/pay what you can on festival grounds for valid ticketholders. A suggested donation of $5 per bike or $10 per family, per day, is encouraged. While bikes will be contained in a locked, staffed area, we recommend bringing a bike lock to increase theft protection. Overnight bike parking is not allowed. We cannot be held responsible for stolen bikes. All bike parking proceeds are donated to the rotating non-profit that manages the bike parking that day.
