Run Bicycle Valet Parking
If you need to run bike or bicycle valet parking, here's where you'll find out how - and please suggest more ideas. The Bicycle Film Festival has valet bike parking.
Steps
- Know what clothes will be needed:
- High visibility vests for volunteers - could buy some and have logos
- Spare jumper / jacket for cold nights
- Gloves and hats, as will be standing around for a while
- Obtain Parking Ticket = Raffle ticket ~ suggest different type or colour of ticket for lack of confusion with prize raffle
- Number the racks:
- Put sign on racks, suggest on every 5 (1, 5, 10, 15, 20) for speed
- Put rack number on back of parking ticket
- Lock friends bikes together, as can unlock at same time
- Ask people to stand by bike when coming out, so can see when bunch of people can be unlocked at the same time
- Get the proper keys:
- Multiple bunches for sections of parking, e.g. A-G, G-N
- Label keys with big tags to find the start of the bunch, e.g. A, N (may be dark later + different people doing it)
- Oil the locks
- Before any volunteers leave, check pockets for keys, as major embarrassment + pain when you're halfway to Brighton, for example, and you get a call asking where the keys are and it's in your back pocket...
