The rules as established by Guinness are simple:

• All participants must be riding a bicycle, which is defined as a two wheeled vehicle powered by only pedaling (sorry no training wheels, unicycles, etc.)
• All Bicycles must travel minimum two mile route and all bicycles must cross the start line (near the the Waterwalk Pavilion) and the finish line (near Century II on Douglas).
• There should be no significant gaps in the parade and also bikes should not be clumped in large groups.
