Each year, athletes bike through the park as part of the Ford Ironman World Championship. Here, U.S. Navy SEAL Mitch Hall, assigned to Naval Special Warfare Center, tests his racing bike in Kona, Hawaii one day prior to the Ironman Triathlon, Oct. 20, 2006.

The Island of Hawai'i is a popular place for bike riding. Those wishing to visit the Park by bike should take special precautions because of the lack of dedicated bike lanes on the Islands' narrow highways. As well, the Kohala Coast is known for its strong winds that can make biking challenging and dangerous.
