BICYCLE TRANSPORT
Shipping your bike to the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon is made EASY by the help of TriBike Transport and Sports Basement. The following are two great options to choose:
TriBike Transport - Ship your bike FULLY ASSEMBLED through TriBike Transport. Your bike will be securely transported in a large cargo van with other bikes and delivered directly to the Sports Basement (1 mile from the event site) and returned to you using the same method.
Ship directly to Sports Basement - Ship your bike disassembled to the Sports Basement where bicycle technicians will receive and assemble your bike for the race. Return to Sports Basement following the race to have your bicycle disassembled and shipped to your home.
