718 Tours are Self-Supported Bike Camping trips of 4-5 nights. Riders will be responsible for their food and shelter. You will be among helpful friends, so don't fret! 718 Cyclery provides expert free advice on packing and gear solutions (we also sell alot of gear too!) The moving speed is around 10-12mph. Don’t get hung up on those numbers, however, as these are No-Drop Adventures, and no one will get left behind. These are inclusive events, and everyone is welcome.

Cost is $200 (riders are responsible for travel cost to/from start and endpoints)

2023 Tour Descriptions

Spring Tour: June 4-9, 2023, Erie Canal / Empire Trail, Buffalo to Albany (6 Days, 5 Nights), 371 total miles.

All riders will be responsible for getting their bikes to the trip start in Buffalo, and home from the trip destination in Albany. Ride starts at 8am on Sunday, June 4 2023 from the corner of Erie and Lakefront in Buffalo.

If you will be traveling via train, the Amtrak Station is at 75 Exchange St, Buffalo, NY 14204 (1/2 mile from start point).

For the train return from Albany to NYC, the last day (Friday, June 9th) is a 55 mile ride that starts at 8am and concludes in Albany. I would assume an early/mid-afternoon train reservation would be safe.

If you are looking to ship you bike to a bike shop in Buffalo, please contact Campus Wheelworks, 1330 Niagara St, Buffalo, NY 14213, (716) 248-2372. Please note that they are closed Sundays.
