We have good news, and bad news.

Bad news: Due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns, there will be no official Bike De'Lights 2020.

Good news: There is a self-guided route you can ride/walk whenever you'd like! (Thanks to Joe S. for putting this together)

College World Series is nearing its end but we still have at least one more night of bike valet for you!

Bike Valet at 13th & Fahey opens at 5pm for the 7pm game tonight and ends 30 minutes after the game concludes! If Michigan wins wins this will be our last Bike Valet of the season! If Vanderbilt wins, we'll be back again tomorrow at 5pm for the final game of the series!

There is a 24/7 self-park area just West of the Bike Valet that you can lock up your bike even when the Bike Valet is not being open.

You can always use Heartland B-cycle to get to the game with their convenient stations at 1516 Cuming, 14th & Fahey, 10th & Fahey, 10th & Cass, & 12th & Davenport! They also have a special CWS station at the Bike Valet!

Who do you think is going to win? Will tonight be our last night of Bike Valet or will it be tomorrow?

Another night of College World Series games, another evening of Bike Valet fun! The Bike Valet is free of charge but we always accept donations that will be used by Omaha Bikes to help with our efforts to promote cycling & cycling initiatives in Omaha! The bike valet is at 14th & Fahey and operated 1 hour before the 1st game to 30 minutes after the final game ends. We do close up during extreme weather but there is a self-park section next to the valet where you can lock up your bike at any time!
