I've not seen such cool bike parking in ages. At my hotel in San Francisco - the W Hotel - they have three Danish Biomega bicycles for guests to use free. Okay, three isn't much, but it's what they do with them that counts.
It's like a museum the way they hang them up on the wall like that. You ask the valet for a bicycle and he walks over with a crank and proceeds to lower - slowly and cerimoniously - the bicycle to the ground. Now THAT is style over speed!
I rode the bicycle during the Halloween Critical Mass and the next day, too, with some friends. A one-speed on the hills of San Francisco. Easy peasy. Photo by Kristin somewhere on Valencia.
Here's what other bikes I've been riding whilst travelling.
Dude! I took that photo of you in front of Radio Habana. Valencia & 22nd!

Nice parking, but a bike valet sounds even better!
ReplyDeleteAdd "bicycle parking valet" to my list of Jobs I Should Have Instead of the Job I Have Now.
ReplyDelete@Jonathan - Baseball season is around the corner and I know Nathan (of AT&T Park Valet Bike Parking) will need a break so he can finally watch a Giants' game from inside the ballpark.
