Renting Your Bike
Bike rentals are available through Unlimited Biking. To reserve a bike, simply book online via our dedicated event page.
World TEAM will cover all bike transportation. Your rental will be ready for pickup at the Hyatt in Arlington on Friday afternoon, and you can drop it off at the finish line in Gettysburg after the ride.
Our volunteer mechanics will be available on Friday to assist with:
Adjusting seat height
Offering tips on gear shifting
Installing your personal pedals (just bring them with you)
Rental Pricing (Weekend Rates):
Hybrid Bike – $99
Aluminum Road Bike – $199
Carbon Road Bike – $299
eBike – $249
All rentals include a helmet. eBikes come with a charger, which will be transported for you and available for charging on Saturday night in Frederick.
Adaptive Athlete Bike Rentals
Adaptive athletes can request a bike during event registration. In the spring, you’ll have the opportunity to reserve a specific bike model. Your bike will be ready for pickup at the Hyatt in Arlington on Friday and will be collected at the Gettysburg finish line on Sunday. World TEAM will cover all rental costs for adaptive athletes.
If you require a recumbent trike or handcycle, please contact Rob Cant at robcant@worldteamsports.org to arrange equipment.
Shipping Your Bike
We strongly recommend that adaptive athletes travel with their personal bikes when flying. Many airlines allow bicycles and handcycles as checked baggage at no extra charge. To help you prepare, download our free Air Travel Guidelines for tips on flying with your equipment. For specific questions, please contact Rob Cant.
For athletes who prefer to ship their bike, World TEAM has partnered with BikeFlights to offer secure, reliable bike shipping to and from Face of America.
With BikeFlights, you can:
Arrange for your bike to be packed and shipped from a local bike shop in your area.
Pick up your bike at the host hotel in Arlington before the event.
Have the host hotel ship your bike back home after the event.
You’ll need to coordinate with local bike shops both at home and near the event. Many shops offer packing and assembly services, but it is your responsibility to:
Arrange bike delivery to the host hotel prior to the event.
Ensure the bike shop can pick up your bike from the hotel for return shipping after the event.
Order a shipping box or case from the BikeFlights store, and review their packing instructions to ensure your bike is well-protected during transit.
