LAND BICYCLING All bases and military recreation areas have designated bicycle lanes and/or trails. Since speed limits are so rigorously enforced, your military bases are very safe riding environments. Off base, you’ll find a bevy of bike lanes, paths and trails–especially on Oahu’s Leeward Coast. Hawaii law (HRS 291C-150) requires that all bicyclists younger than 16 years of age wear a helmet. Be sure to register your bicycle at any Satellite City Hall. You’ll find details in this guide’s “Transportation” section. One of the top biking resources is the Hawaii Bicycle League website at HBL.org. Oahu’s oldest and largest cycling organization, HBL welcomes military members to join the local biking community at a reduced $25 annual fee. The website offers maps, routes, laws, workshops and scoop on special riding events. You’ll also find the City & County of Honolulu’s Oahu Bike Plan. The strategy calls for adding 65 miles of bikeways to the existing 132 miles on Oahu to help make Honolulu a “bicycle-friendly city where bicycling is a viable and popular travel choice for residents and visitors of all ages.” Another great resource is BIKEFACTORY Hawaii (BikeFactoryHawaii.com) with shops in Honolulu and Waipio. BIKEFACTORY has a reputation for offering a wide, high-quality selection of BMX, road, mountain and cruiser bicycles. In addition, action sport products include skateboards, scooters, safety wear and accessories.
