Skip the game-day traffic and choose a sustainable, active way to travel! In proud partnership with Levi’s Stadium and our regional public transit agencies, the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition (SVBC) will be offering secure bike valet for the World Cup games in the SF Bay.
Whether you are pedaling the entire way or connecting to the stadium from public transit (like VTA, Caltrain, ACE or BART), we make "last-mile" green travel seamless and worry-free.
If you’ve never used a bike valet before, think of it exactly like a secure, monitored coat check for your bicycle. The process is simple, efficient, and designed to get you inside the stadium quickly:
