It will feature a secure, staffed, locks-optional Bicycle Parking Pavilion (BPP). 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).

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).

Beware of Cyclist Ticketing: A fellow SDCBC member has heard that police officers are ticketing cyclists for running the red light turning left/east from Southbound N. Torrey Pines Road into UCSD at LJ Shores Drive. Apparently cyclists are not able to trigger the left green arrow and are treating it as a stop sign. For this they are getting ticketed.
