We appreciate the work of I Bike Fresno and look forward to a great event.”
~Mark Blackney, President and CEO of Clovis Chamber of Commerce
Anyone who rides their bike to BIG Hat Days can leave their bike at the bike valet booth and have it parked free of charge. The valet service will retrieve the bike when the bike owner returns.
“I hope more events take the initiative to provide bike valet parking for their attendees,” Bryan Jones, Fresno City Traffic Engineer Division Manager and President of the Bike Happy Foundation said. “Biking is great for the environment, your wallet and your waist line!”
“This is a great idea,” Fresno County Bicycle Coalition Chair Ed Smith said. “Instead of hassling with traffic and hunting for a place to park, I can ride up, check my bike and get straight to the fun.”
Other events offering bike valet include:
- Unitarian Universalist Earth Day event, April 30
- Clovis Farmers Market every Friday night, May 6-September 30
- Clovis Fest, September 17-18.
I Bike Fresno was founded in 2010 by JP Marketing, the Fresno County Bicycle Coalition and the City of Fresno. I Bike Fresno is a campaign and resource to show Fresno that the bicycle is not only a recreational item, but a tool for transportation, independence and joy.
I Bike Fresno is an initiative of the Bike Happy Foundation. Its goal is to educate, encourage and promote bicycling as a mode of transportation for people of all ages through a wide range of messages and mediums; to create and disseminate materials that support bicycle-friendly communities; to develop and execute events and event planning resources to support bicycle- friendly communities; and to generate sponsorships and execute fundraisers to fund these efforts.
