WOW - we've parked over 800 bikes this year with our free valet bike parking service at community events! We're so grateful to the organizations that partnered with us to make it possible: Anchorage Downtown Partnership, Showdown, Skinny Raven, and more.

The number of children injured or killed by cars while walking or riding a bike has fallen steadily since the 1970s, but CDC researcher note that this decline is not because streets are safer, but because fewer kids are out and about in the first place.
