The helmet giveaway will be held at the Center Court event space. There are many shops and restaurants to visit after you pick up your free helmet! 

 

Getting there: This event is outside the Biki network and there are no Biki stations in the area. While we normally LOVE when you Biki, we ask that you do not use bikeshare to travel to and from the event. We encourage you to carpool or use public transportation. Free parking is available at the shopping center. 

how to get a helmet:

  1. Show up to the event
  2. Give your email address
  3. Get properly fitted by a trained HBL volunteer

 

That's it! Absolutely no purchase required and you don't need to be a CPB banking customer or a Biki Member to get one. Due to limited supplies, we can only give one per person and you must be present to receive one. First come, first served and available while supplies last.
