Bike Inspections

Whether you ride your bike daily or just once a year for our event, we strongly encourage all riders to have their bike inspected before Ride Weekend. A bike in proper working condition will make your ride more enjoyable and help ensure the safety of both you and your fellow riders.

Complimentary bike inspections are available during packet pickup and at any Pro Bike+Run location prior to Ride Weekend. Just mention that you are participating in Ride to Crush Cancer! While inspections are optional, riders are encouraged to take advantage of this service to ensure their bike is safe and ready for the ride.

Bike Rentals

Rush to Crush Cancer proudly partners with Unlimited Biking to offer a variety of bike rental options for Ride Weekend. Riders who reserve a rental bike will pick up their bike and helmet at their designated start location and return them at the finish line after completing their ride. We recommend arriving early to allow enough time to get comfortable with your equipment.
