Packet Pickup

Packet Pickup

All cyclists must pick up their rider packets at Bike Expo New York, which takes place on the two days prior to the Tour. This packet includes your Rider Identification Kit (aka RIK) and Tour Program. We will not mail rider packets. If you cannot pick up your own packet, see below for information regarding Proxy Packet Pickup.

Picking Up Your Packet

  • Bring your barcode, either printed out or on your smartphone. Your barcode will be emailed to you in April and/or texted to you a few days prior to the Expo.
  • If you do not receive your barcode email, you should come to the Expo to pick up your packet as usual; please bring your ID with you. Please note that not bringing a barcode with your ID could result in delayed service.
  • Residents of the United States and Puerto Rico must show state or federal government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, DMV photo ID, or passport.
  • Non-US residents, including Canadian residents, must show a valid passport
  • In order to pick up a youth’s packet without the youth present, the registered guardian must bring his/her own valid photo ID; his/her own barcode, either printed out or on a smartphone; and the youth’s barcode.You do not need to provide ID for the registered youth.
  • Note that adults may only pick up the rider packet for the single youth registered in connection with their name.

    Proxy Packet Pickup

    Anyone picking up a packet for someone else must bring the following to the Expo:

    • Proxy Packet Pickup form signed by the individual whose packet you are picking up
    • Valid photo ID
    • Photocopy of the ID of the individual whose packet you are picking up
    • Print-out or digital display (on a smartphone or tablet) of the barcode for the individual whose packet you are picking up. The barcode will be emailed to all registrants in late April.

    Individuals (including non-riders) can pick up a maximum of 5 proxy packets.
