How does it work?
Valet Bicycle Parking is a service provided to bicyclists by trained staff and volunteers. Bicycles are parked in secure fenced areas at the entrance to festivals, sporting events, and other high-traffic destinations to make bicycling convenient and to reduce traffic congestion. For a suggested $1 donation, cyclists get a claim check that they return to receive their bicycle when they leave. Valet Bicycle Parking opens about an hour before an event and closes an hour after an event. Similar services are provided in bicycle-friendly cities across the nation.
By helping people discover the ease of bicycling around town, Local Motion hopes to get more people out on bikes more often…for commuting, shopping, or going to school.

Help bring Valet Bicycle Parking to more events by volunteering. We need responsible and dependable volunteers to coordinate our bike parking effort. It's a great way to meet lots of outdoor-oriented people. Volunteers often receive discounted festival admission. If you are interested, contact Special Events & Membership Coordinator
