Although walking is always an option and has the inherent rewards of traveling light and allows us to slow down and appreciate the path more deeply . . . you have choices to get to the fair more quickly so your can have more time at the fair, enjoying the event.

Ride Your Bike. Travel light and enjoy the ride. We encourage everyone to ride his or her bike to the fair. If you don’t have a bike and you can’t borrow one from a friend, you can check a bike out from your friends at The Fort Collins Bike Library, located near the fountain off of Walnut and Linden in Old Town Square. The FC Bike Library is a free service for residents, students, and visitors to Fort Collins. Members can borrow a bike for as short as one hour or for as long 7 days. FC Bike Library members can enjoy a variety of bicycles and tag-a-longs for older children. Visit their website to learn more and reserve a bike. www.fcbikelibrary.org

Valet Bike Parking is prime parking. The Fort Collins Bike Co-op volunteers are providing our Bike Valet service again this year. The service is FREE and your bike is secured in the valet area, conveniently located at the Main Entrance. Run by volunteers, the Bike Co-op focuses on keeping bicycles out of the landfill, community riding, and bicycle education. The Fort Collins Bicycle Co-op has something for everyone, whether you are a bike ninja, a casual commuter, or have not touched a bike since you were young. Get your bike out of the back of the garage and bring it down to the Co-op. They’ll show you how to tune it up and properly inspect it for a safe and successful return to the bike lane. If you’d like to learn more or help the Fort Collins Bicycle Co-op make a difference in our community, visit their website www.fcbikecoop.org

Get on the Bio-Shuttle. The Sustainable Living Association and Blue Sun Biodiesel provide a FREE convenience shuttle service during the weekend of the Fair ONLY! Skip the hassles of parking and get picked-up and dropped-off at the Fair entrance. This is a great way for exhibitors and attendees to reduce their environmental impact while traveling from hotels to the fair. Check the schedule for locations and schedules and don’t forget to thank your driver, Mr. Lea Angell for the ride.
