Bike to Riverbend

Bike Parking As I've mentioned before on my bike to work day post, one of the easiest ways keep a few pounds of nasty greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere is to replace a few miles of your everyday car travel with a few miles of cycling (or, walking). So I was thrilled to learn that the Riverbend Festival will offer free bike valet service (again) this year. Riverbend is a huge outdoor music festival taking place on the Chattanooga waterfront, and it is also, therefore, a huge outdoor parking festival. It's nice to see these kind of efforts to promote cycling in the city.

Here's the beta (thanks Ruthie from Outdoor Chattanooga):

Bike to Riverbend June 8 � 16
Ride your bicycle to Riverbend and leave it with our safe and secure free valet service at the south end of the Walnut Street Bridge. Enjoy the music and fun without the traffic hassles. Valet service will be available from 5:00 p.m. to Midnight every night except Monday, June 11. Free automobile parking will be available in the Amnicola Marsh parking lot along the Tennessee Riverwalk. For more information, visit www.riverbendfestival.com.

So, make for one less car and take your bike this year. Or, if you're coming from outside of the city, call me and you can park at my house for free and walk with us.
