Cyclists will be able to ride their bike from any point of origin, to the primary base gates, and will be directed by traffic control on the base to the Coalition BPP (located beside the central of 3 pedestrian Flight Line gates to the Show).   We will employ a wristband ID system similar to EarthFair and Petco Park bike parking systems.  Visitors can enjoy the Show and come back to reclaim their bike anytime. The BPP will operate during all Air Show hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, October 3, and Sunday, October 5, and 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, October 4 (includes twilight show).  Dave White wants to hear from all interested volunteers: p2park@san.rr.com or 619-881-5765.
