Keep your bike safe and sound while exploring downtown Kelowna this summer.

The City of Kelowna has unveiled a new, free bike valet program for folks exploring the sunny city on two wheels.

The valet will be open from noon until 6p.m. on Saturday and Sunday from July 1 until Sept. 3.

A monitored and caged lot for the bikes is already set up at the intersection of Bernard Avenue and Mill Street.

The city has partnered with the Kelowna Area Cycling Coalition (KACC) to deliver bike valet service. The city is providing the equipment and funding while the KACC is operating and manning the site.

Bikes left behind after 6 p.m. will be stored in a secure location and users will have to contact Community Safety Services at communitysafety@kelowna.ca to retrieve their bike the following Monday.

The valet program is currently a pilot project and the city relies on user numbers and feedback to secure funding to continue the project in the future.
