Valet Bike Parking

Want to make your event more bike and pedestrian friendly? Offer Valet Bike Parking!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Anyone arriving to your event on a bike can have it parked for free in a designated area that is fully blocked off and monitored for the duration of the event. Event attendees simply ride up to the bike valet where valet volunteers take their name and phone number, place a tag on their bike and a matching wristband on the rider. That’s it! 

No more trying to find a tree to lock your bike to, no bike locks needed, and no waiting in a long line of traffic! We’ve parked hundreds of bikes at the State Theatre’s Summer Concert Series at Thompson’s Point, and at Beach to Beacon’s annual 10k race at Fort Williams Park. We’d love to help you at your event! Interested? Read on, and we’ll explain how it works to hire us.

HIRE US FOR YOUR EVENT:

We have three different options to choose from: Valet Bike Parking Plus, Valet Bike Parking Standard, and Bike Rack Rental.

OPTION 1: VALET BIKE PARKING PLUS

The BCM provides two staff and all equipment needed to run VBP at your event. You provide volunteers and a location for the service with a perimeter. Transportation of racks to and from your event can also be provided. Note: our bike racks are stored in Portland, significant travel (+1 hour each way) will incur additional charges.

OPTION 2: VALET BIKE PARKING STANDARD

The BCM provides one hour of training with a staff member on how to run VBP. We will NOT be onsite during your event. All equipment is the same as with the VBP Plus service. Note: our bike racks and equipment are stored in Portland, you will need to transport them to and from your event.

OPTION 3: BIKE RACK RENTAL

If you need racks for your event, and are not doing Valet Bike Parking, we still got you covered. Note: our bike racks are stored in Portland, you will need to transport them to and from your event.
