Ironman Road Closures and Safety Tips

Please be aware that there will be major road closures on the West side of the Big Island all day on Saturday, October 9, 2010 due to the Ironman Triathlon World Championship. There are ways to get around that day, so please see this map to plan your day: ROAD CLOSURE NOTICE

If you were planning on renting from us that day, please call us as soon as possible to discuss pickup times and availability: 808-886-2011 or email us at BigIslandMotorcycleCo [at] yahoo.com. We will be open for our regular hours, 9:30am-7pm everyday.

This would be a good day to stay put and enjoy the beaches or a nice relaxing bicycle ride. Either way, we got you covered with snorkel, beach chair, umbrella, cooler, boogie board, and bicycle rentals.

Although the Ironman lasts for only one day, there are many people here right now training for the event. This means lots of extra traffic, bicyclists, and pedestrians on the roadway. Please use extra caution when driving, cycling, and walking/running. Please stay on the shoulder unless you are a car or motorcycle and ride/run single file. It's the Aloha that makes this state great, so let's keep it that way!

Some dude we saw riding up Mauna Kea. Woah! That's a tough ride.
