Our Travis is super friendly, a cyclist, a great bike mechanic, and a handsome guy with a lonnnnnnng beard. Saturday morning, 8 am, October 2nd, you can cycle with Travis to the Port Fest. The staging area for all interested people to cycle to the port is the downtown Promenade (Ocean Blvd. near Pine Avenue). Folks on bikes can enjoy a special cycling tour of interesting areas of the Port of Long Beach not usually seen by outsiders—that ride takes place at 8:00 am. People on bicycle who arrive at the Promenade later can nonetheless participate in escorted cycle rides to the Port Fest itself. Long Beach Cyclists will run a table at the Promenade Saturday morning, and will provide free bike valet at Port Fest (south of Queensway Bridge) all day long.

You will want to cycle to the Port of Long Beach for this one! Participate in a guided cycling tour of portions of our port. Enjoy the many educational and fun activities that take place during Green Port Fest.
Long Beach Cyclists will help lead a cycling tour around parts of the port not normally open to the public. Also, we will offer free bike valet. Contact us (lbcyclists@gmail.com) about helping LBC for a small block of time so that each one of us can participate in some of the many cool activities that will take place.

We are searching for volunteers to help with an event ! Â We will be pairing up with the Port of Long Beach (POLB) for their Green Port Festival on Oct. 3. Â LB Cyclists will be offering bike tours into the port for the festival; the route will start at the Promenade (at Ocean) and end at the Port administration building (about 1.2 mi). Â We will also be guiding additional inner harbor tours to Pier J to promote the newly proposed bike route. Â In addition, our hugely successful Bike Valet service will be offered! Â The event will run from 9:00 am to about 3:00 pm, however, if you can only volunteer for a portion of that time, we would still love to have you!
There is much to do for this event, so we need some of our Long Beach Cyclists to help out where they can. Â Even if you have never assisted us with any of our events, we still welcome you. Â The tasks are very simple and prior instruction will be given.
Our involvement with the Port for this event is a huge benefit for our organization. Â They will be reaching out to thousands of homes and many bike friendly businesses with newsletters and flyers, promoting the event and cycling as a fun, sustainable mode of transportation! Â Compensation will be offered to the organization and we sure do need that! Â POLBÂ is a huge driving force in Long Beach on so many levels. Â If we are successful in this partnership, we may be given more opportunities by them in the future to promote our organization and it’s objectives!
What we need help with:
- Bike Parking Attendants (tag a bike and put it on the rack, plenty of instruction will be given)
- Bike Tour Monitors (Led by a road cycling instructor you will ride with the groups into the port, helping keep them organized along the way)
Thank you for taking the time to consider helping out! Â If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
