Pelotonia is committed to providing an inclusive experience for all participants and furthering accessibility for all spectators regardless of ability, both apparent and non-apparent.

Located at the bottom left corner on all pages of the Pelotonia.org website, the Accessibility Adjustments tool can be used to accommodate many visual, cognitive, and auditory needs to comfortably explore the site.

All Riders and Volunteers attending a virtual orientation can enable closed captioning to follow verbal instructions and dialogue in written format.

With the growth of electric bikes and pedal electronics in the biking community, the use of these technologies is welcome in Pelotonia! Please note, though, that no fully motorized bikes which use a throttle are allowed on the Pelotonia route and all electric bikes must have a freely operable pedaling system: rear wheel drive train of pedals, crank, chain, and gear system.

• Sign Language interpretation (ASL) will be utilized at the Opening Ceremony program.
• All Pelotonia signage is created with large print and highly contrasting colors for clear interpretation.
• Each start wave for Pelotonia riders is coordinated by a color that is both shown visually and written in text to accommodate limited vision or color blindness.
• Sound sensitivity support (earplugs) will be located at Spectator Experience tents at start and finish venues.

For all participants staying overnight at the Kenyon College dorms for the two-day ride, there are ADA-accessible accommodations as needed. If you need accommodations, please be sure to note this on the dorm survey you will receive and Pelotonia staff will reach out to coordinate specifics.

We’ve incorporated important additions to the Ride Weekend experience to support nursing parents participating as Riders, Volunteers, or spectators, including Lactation Stations at all start and finish venues and optional breast pump transportation.

While Pelotonia does our best to accommodate the needs of all abilities at our sites and events, we want to acknowledge that there will be large crowds and loud environments that could be triggering to some individuals.

All Pelotonia events and sites are smoke-free environments and accommodate across mobility needs, including ramps on curbs and ground-level entries that don’t require steps.

If you or a loved one have any questions or concerns while on site at a Pelotonia event, please consult with a Lead Volunteer (in bright blue t-shirts that read “Lead Volunteer”) or a Pelotonia staff member, identifiable with a Staff credential lanyard.
