| About the Bike Valet |
|
Bike to the Summerchill Series! The Bike Valet encourages active transportation among residents who plan on attending the event. Residents who arrive via their bicycle will have the opportunity to leave their bike with the Bike Valet for safe-keeping during the event. Bikes will be stored in an orderly fashion and marked with an identification number to ensure they are returned to their owner. There will be an on-site Town of Pelham coordinator to help set-up and oversee the Bike Valet.
Thank you to the local businesses who provide sponsorship for this service. |
