LA Culture Comes to Bicycles - Velo Valet Service
Valet Parking Now Offered For Santa Monica Bikes
(AP) SANTA MONICA, Calif. Valet parking in Southern California is routine.
But a new kind of service is catering to people who need to park their bikes.
Santa Monica officials are hiring parkers to handle up to 350 bikes at the Sunday market.
Long Beach is offering full service parking for cyclists, including attendants who fill up the tires and repair bikes.
Santa Barbara plans to open a bike center May First, with hot showers and locker rooms where bike-riding commuters can freshen up before work.
Here in LA, many employers provide public transportation subsidies if you give up an employee parking space or carpool. It’d be cheaper to provide a monthly bike tune up than provide a parking space. Let’s plant the idea in the minds of bicycle-commuting-friendly employers.
