This is actually a super awesome initiative. Before COVID I always thought renting a storefront and doing basically this for bikes and scooters would be an awesome idea. The big thing I can't get over in the little business plan in my mind, is the risk. Downtown isn't a safe place right now, especially with a store full of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars worth of bikes.

A bike valet is a step in the right direction. If it's free, I would definitely give it a try. I intentionally have a crappy bike to avoid it getting stolen, so this would give me peace of mind. Anything that makes navigating downtown feel safer is good in my book. Let's hope it goes well.
