The City of Carlsbad is partnering with the San Diego County Bike Coalition to provide complimentary bike valets, another way to get to popular summer events including TGIF Concerts in the Parks and Art in Village. Not every family may be close enough to bike, the more people who do, the better traffic will flow and the less time spent getting to and finding parking for these popular events.   

A bike valet is like a coat check for bikes.

• Ride your bike or e-bike to the valet check in station (don’t forget your helmet!)
• An attendant with the San Diego County Bike Coalition will attach a claim tag to your bike and give you a matching claim wristband
• Enjoy the festivities knowing your bike and accessories are kept safe and monitored in the valet area
• Check back in to the bike valet station to pick up your bike.

Watch how it works

Bike valet services are available this summer for:

• TGIF Concerts in the Parks
• Stagecoach Community Park on June 21, 28, July 5, 12
• Calavera Hills Community Park on July 19, 26 and Aug. 2
• Alga Norte Community Park on Aug. 9 and 16

• Art in the Village, hosted by the Carlsbad Village Association on June 23
  • Engel & Volkers parking lot 2965 Roosevelt Street
