The Mission of Perimeter Bicycling’s Bike Patrol… More

The mission of Perimeter Bicycling’s Bike Patrol program is to provide assistance, encouragement, and support for the participants of Perimeter events. Patrollers offer mechanical assistance, first aid as needed and encouragement to successfully finish the ride.

Perimeter Bike Patrol is a group of nearly 300 certified cyclists who bring enthusiasm for cycling and a deep pool of experience to ensure the success of thousands of riders in Perimeter events every year.

There is also an award for outstanding Bike Patrol in each event.

And of course, all Bike Patrol receive a finisher’s medallion.

We are able to offer the Bike Patrol jersey for sale to qualified  patrollers.  “Qualified” patroller means you have done a minimum of 4 patrols.  The jerseys are made by Pactimo and are Century (club) cut, which is more relaxed. Once you have completed 4 patrols contact the Bike Patrol Director and we’ll get it ordered for your pick up at our office or at Expo.   Plus you can get a jacket or vest if you want one.  Jacket and vest orders must pre-pay two months before an event.  Call or email for details.  (We won’t be offering shorts or gloves, so you’re on your own there).
