We Parked Over Ten Thousand Bikes Last Year!
Biking all over the city to attend concerts, games and big cultural events is one of the joys of San Francisco living – our mild climate and beautiful views make it the best way to get around! And SFBike’s own Valet Bike Parking program is there to make sure there’s safe and secure (and free to you!) bike parking while you’re having fun. And we know how popular Valet Bike Parking is because in 2024, we parked an incredible 10,736 bikes at events all across San Francisco!
1. Giants Home Games for the 2024 Season – an incredible 8,581 bikes parked
Every Giant’s baseball season, we provide free bicycle valet for fans – it’s our most popular valet offering for a good reason! Not only is it the cheapest way to get to the ballpark, you can hardly get any closer to the field. We’re located along the Portwalk, between the O’Doul gate and Marina gate, parking an average of 100 – 200 bikes per game. In 2024, we parked 8,581 bikes and scooters this season!
But that’s not all! We also offer valet for special events at Oracle Park and China Basin Park. We parked 455 bikes at concerts, movie nights, graduations and other Oracle Park events this year.
2. Flower Piano – 602 bikes parked
Flower Piano is San Francisco Botanical Garden’s annual fundraiser, where they place pianos all across the gardens and hold scheduled concerts and impromptu performances each day. We loved seeing so many families biking together on family cargo bikes and children bikes, and storing them with us to enjoy the gardens.
3. Portola Music Festival – 335 bikes parked
We love being part of Portola Music Festival at Pier 80. The organizers make sure they offer several sustainable ways to get to and from the festival, including free valet bicycle parking. And our hard-working valet attendees got to hear some great music while they did their jobs!
4. Dutch King’s Day – 227 bikes parked
Each year, the San Francisco Dutch community celebrates King’s Day in Golden Gate Park at Murphy’s Windmill. It’s a perfect day to ride through Golden Gate Park, and enjoy Dutch music, food and traditions. And of course, tulips!
5. Opera in the Park – 152 bikes parked
The San Francisco Opera performs pieces from their upcoming season for free in Golden Gate Park every September. Robin Williams Meadow is filled with opera fans sitting in the sun and drinking up the fantastic performances.
6. One More City Century Ride – 100 bikes parked
One More City Century ride is a 100-mile ride raising funds for metastatic breast cancer research. The ride starts at Rapha SF and continues through the north bay and ends back at Rapha for a celebration in the street. Participants leave their bikes with us at the end of the ride and stick around to celebrate with music, food and bicycle stories!
7. Moscone Conferences – 177 bikes parked
We’re always happy to provide bike valet services at multiple conferences at Moscone, including Figma Config, Game Developers Conference and Dreamforce. We not only park bikes from locals attending the conference but folks working the event as well as attendees who rent bicycles from their hotels! Attendees are able to check their bikes out for lunch break and check back in with ease. It’s a great way to show San Francisco’s sustainable values for locals and visitors alike.
That’s a pretty good year for one of our most popular programs! And it’s made possible because San Francisco city ordinance requires that events offer monitored, secure bicycle parking for events with an anticipated number of participants greater than 2,000 per day or at events requiring a street closure – so if you enjoyed free bike valet, then please let us know some other great venues or events that you think we should attend in 2025!
