Looking forward to the inauguration of our 44th president tomorrow? While most of us will be watching from home or work, the 2 million or so who are expected to see the inauguration in person will likely have a hard time getting into the city. That is, unless they have a bicycle tomorrow!
Most every road downtown will be closed, it will be nearly impossible to park anywhere in Washington, the buses and Metrorail will be packed even running on rush hour schedules from 4am to 9pm, but bikes are allowed to get even further on the roads and WABA is offering free bike valet parking - even if you have a trailer. Sometimes it pays to bike!
Quoted from the Washington Area Bicyclist Association:
WABA Offering Free Valet Bike Parking!
Thanks to the generous support of America Bikes, Dero Racks, The District Department of Transportation, and WABA members, WABA will be providing two bike valet stations at the Inaugural event. Just ride your bike to one of our free bike valet stations, hand the attendant your bike, and get a claim ticket with a number that matches the number on the ticket attached to your bike. Your bike remains safe with WABA's trusted attendants.
