And as there were only 10 bikes left, they got theirs right away.

No problem either dropping off or retrieving my bike (I was #70, so I was there relatively early, and got back relatively late.) I used it, it was fine, quick, and a great service.

I waited about 15 min for check-in and about 10 min for check-out. They had a really smart but simple system of tagging bikes and giving you a card, then placing the bike in a 'section' in their valet area associated with that numbered tag/card. Looked like they had a good number of volunteers and it seems like they didn't lose a single bike! unbelievable. http://washcycle.typepad.com has a bunch of stats and other info. I wish WABA had handled crowd & gate control for the mall/viewing areas too. I know it's not their thing, but they had things much more under control and organized than anything else in terms of the days events. Yep, free and easy.

It was full when I rode by, but seeing all the bikes I couldn't figure out how they would retrieve them. They all have valet tags on them, but honestly damn near all the bikes look the same so I wonder if they had a system? I talk to the older gent working and he said although they are filled, they might be able to squeeze another in. That made me thing it was just pack em in and go. Also was this free?
