    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.

    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!
