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.

While Pelotonia does its best to accommodate the needs of all abilities at its sites and events, please be aware that there will be large crowds and loud environments that may be triggering for some individuals.

All Pelotonia events and sites are smoke-free and accessible across mobility needs, including curb ramps and ground-level entries that do not require steps.

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

Located at the bottom left corner on all pages of the Pelotonia 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 at Pelotonia! Please note that fully motorized bikes using a throttle are not permitted on the Pelotonia route, and all electric bikes must have a freely operable pedaling system: a rear wheel drive train of pedals, crank, chain, and gear system. E-bike charging stations will be available at the Granville Middle School and Homer Library rest stops on Saturday — Riders must bring their own chargers. A power source will be provided, but no charging cables will be available on-site.

Pelotonia uses the following measures to ensure all participants and Spectators can engage with programming and festivities regardless of visual, cognitive, or hearing ability:

• Sign Language interpretation (ASL) will be provided at the Opening Ceremony program.
• All Pelotonia signage features large print and high-contrasting colors for clear readability.
• Each Rider start wave is coordinated by a color that is both displayed visually and written in text to accommodate those with limited vision or color blindness.
• Sound sensitivity support (earplugs) will be available at Spectator Experience tents at all start and finish venues.

ADA-accessible accommodations are available for participants staying overnight at the Kenyon College dorms during the two-day ride. If accommodations are needed, please note this on the dorm survey. Pelotonia staff will follow up to coordinate the specifics.

Pelotonia has 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. Visit the Ride Weekend Support for Nursing Parents page for more details.

If you registered as a Rider and opted into nursing parent accommodations, those preferences have been noted. If anything has changed or selections need to be updated, please reach out to pelotonia@pelotonia.org for assistance.
