You'll need pedals, a photo ID, event wristband (Festival Pass or Demo Pass) and a credit card (for a damage deposit) to demo a bike. Before you ride we'll ask you to complete a digital waiver form on one of our iPads. You can do this right at the tent. At festivals and most store demos, we offer bikes on a first-come first-serve basis (no reservations), so it's best to arrive early and ready to rip!
