FREE BIKE VALET:

Ride your bike to the Fremont Festival and park it at the Bike Valet. This is a free bike parking service for community members. Just drop your bike, scooter, skateboard, or other personal mobility device and we’ll watch them while you enjoy the festivities.

A bike valet is important for encouraging use of personal transportation methods other than cars and local public transportation. Providing free bike parking will reduce traffic congestion and neighborhood interference.

The Bike Valet is staffed by Bike East Bay with help from Bike Fremont and is sponsored by Alameda County Supervisor David Haubert.

The Bike Valet, shown by the green box on the map, will be located on Hastings St. near Capitol Ave.
