Free Bike Valet Service During Livermore Wine Country Festival

Announcement, photo submitted by Office of Supervisor Scott Haggerty:

The weekend of May 2nd and 3rd, Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty, in partnership with Livermore Area Recreation and Park District, Bay Area Air Quality Management District and Bike East Bay, will again co-sponsor a FREE bike valet service during the Annual Livermore Wine Country Festival. Last year, the event drew an estimated 150,000 visitors and the bike valet service provided a safe, efficient and convenient alternative to commuting by car.

The valet service is equipped to accommodate 200 bicycles at a single time. Scooters and skate boards are also permitted to be checked into the “bike corral”. With all the hassle of finding available parking during such a widely attended event, festival goers may want to consider biking instead of driving.

The bike valet, located at the intersection of South Livermore and 2nd Street, will be available from 10:00am-6:00pm on Saturday and from 10:00am-5:00pm on Sunday. The Alameda County Bike Mobile will be on-site making free repairs and offering free tune-ups to from 12:00pm-3:00pm on Sunday.

For more information regarding the bike valet service at the Livermore Valley Wine Country Festival, or that which will be held at the Fremont Festival of the Arts in August, contact Leah Doyle-Stevens at 925-551-6995 or Leah.Doyle-Stevens@acgov.org.
