Bike Valet Comes to the Vancouver Art Gallery

This summer, we’re excited to partner with the Vancouver Art Gallery to bring free, secure bike parking to one of Vancouver’s most iconic cultural destinations. Available during weekend Gallery opening hours from July 25 to September 25, visitors can ride to explore Future Geographies: Art in the Century of Climate Change and other exhibitions.

To celebrate the launch, join the Vancouver Art Gallery and Samsara Cycle on Saturday, July 25, for a no-drop community ride to Stanley Park, followed by free parking at the Bike Valet, and a guided Gallery tour.

This Bike Valet location is made possible through funding from the Province of British Columbia via the BC Cycling Coalition’s Bike Valet Grant.

If you use the Bike Valet this summer, share your feedback. Your responses help improve the program and demonstrate the value of continued provincial investment.
