SAN FRANCISCO, CA (September 22, 2006) - Folsom Street Fair just got even hotter. Two years ago we announced free, on-site, secure, monitored bike parking in association with the SF Bike Coalition. We are pleased to announce that we are continuing this service to our fair goers this year and in addition free, secure, monitored motorcycle parking and helmet check will be returning for a second year. Bike parking will be located on 9th Street off Howard.
In conjunction with the San Francisco Women's Motorcycle Contingent -- Dykes on Bikes and Mr.S Leather we are pleased to announce the Folsom Street Fair motorcycle parking area on 8th Street just off Harrison. A map of both these parking areas as well as detailed hours of operation is available on our website.
