Rules for the Event

The rules as established by Guinness are simple:

• All participants must be riding a bicycle, which is defined as a two wheeled vehicle powered by only pedaling (sorry no training wheels, unicycles, pull behind unites. etc.) ALL forms are strongly encouraged to participate, but only those powered exclusively by two wheeles will count towards the record breaking number.
• All Bicycles must travel minimum two mile route and all bicycles must cross the start line (near the the Pavilion) and the finish line (near the UC Davis Pavilion).
• There should be no significant gaps in the parade and also bikes should not be clumped in large groups.
