Bike Valet

Volunteer

Shifts: 7:30-10am, 9:00-11:00am, or 10am-1pm

Since 2012 Raynolds Addition has provided a free bike valet service at the Downtown Grower's Market at Robinson Park on Saturdays from mid-April through early November.

People ride their bikes to the market and know they are safe and secure while they shop and support our local economy. It reduces car parking and is fast and convenient.

Sign up for a shift, meet your neighbors, and enjoy the market!

What is involved?

We give cyclists a claim check for their bike and hang it on our bike racks. When they return, we verify that the numbers on their claim check and on the bike match and return the bike to them. Putting a bike on the bike rack involves lifting bikes of various weights. The first shift starts with setting up the bike racks. The last shift ends with taking down the bike racks. Even if you don't feel up to lifting bikes or carrying racks, you are still welcome to help write claim checks or simply sit in our enclosure and provide an extra set of eyes to watch the bikes. It all helps!
