How to enjoy Thursday evenings in Los Angeles: Bike to the beach for the FREE Twilight Dance Series — and take advantage of the FREE bike valet.

Do fun events in your city always mean big traffic jams and road rage? Then suggest a free bike valet! And if you live in the L.A.-area, only four more Thursdays are left in this year’s Twilight Dance Series — so don’t miss them!

Here in Minnesota this summer the Minneapolis Art Institute threw a bash one evening just for cyclists. Music, interactive art experiences, an open bar or two, and a very well organized, complimentary, bike (guest) valet service made the evening a big success. Wandering around the parked bikes I saw some of the coolest 2-wheel machines, ever. I've seen bike valets work -- may they proliferate wherever events attract folks who pedal in.
