Bike Valet turns community events into bikeable destinations by providing turn-key valet bike parking services for event participants who arrive by bike (it’s like coat check for your bike).

Bike Valet events occur seasonally with a schedule averaging 2-3 shifts per month (more depending on availability). Shifts typically last 4-6 hours, with the possibility of occasional overtime for longer events. Shifts include early morning, daytime, evening and late night events.

You’ll work mostly off-site at Bike Valet events in a variety of outdoor settings (parks, plazas, parking lots, trails, etc.) in a variety of weather. You’ll also occasionally work from SABA’s Bike Valet storage space and offices in downtown Sacramento.

In instances where you may use your own vehicle to transport Bike Valet equipment outside of the grid, we pay the current IRS mileage reimbursement for vehicle use off-site. 

Bike Valet employees report to the Bike Valet Program Manager, who will train you on all aspects of the Bike Valet program and SABA’s operation. Training will be on the job staffing Bike Valet events (paid).
