Celebrate Bike Valet!
Thinking of riding your bike to Celebrate Brooklyn this summer but worried about finding a safe and reliable place to lock up? Look no further than the Celebrate Brooklyn Bike Zone, where friendly volunteers from Transportation Alternatives will take great care of your ride while you enjoy the sights and sounds of Celebrate Brooklyn's unbeatable summer lineup. The Bike Zone is conveniently located just inside the 11th Street and Prospect Park West entrance, within steps of the bandshell. Check out this handy map (pdf) to scout your best route.
So it's unclear....we do or do not, need to bring a lock with us???
No lock is necessary for Bike Valet parking---which accommodates appx. 400 bikes. There are areas of the Bike Zone where you can self park and lock your bike, so it's probably a good idea to bring your lock, just to be on the safe side.
...in the case that the Bike Valet lot reaches capacity.
On one of my rare jaunts out of Sheepshead Bay, when I went to see David Rudder in concert. There was no one manning the valet section. Couldn't see any places that were so convenient for parking the bikes w/a lock. So, we just locked our bikes together within view. Nothing more annoying than having to concentrate on your bikes when swaying to Sweet, Sweet TnT!
