Bicycle Parking at community events

Last summer as I was entering the Filberg Festival in Comox, I saw the Bicycle Lockup area run by the Comox Valley Cycling Coalition. It was well used with lots of bikes inside the Lockup. I believe the Coalition asked for a donation and also people could purchase raffle tickets for a quilt they were raffling off plus pick up info on the Coalition. It works like a Coat Check area at a hotel or dance and the area is surrounded by some type of portable secure fencing - i.e. the plastic rollable fencing around construction sites. I believe the Coalition runs the Bike Lockup at most major community events in the Comox Valley. Also, in looking at other Coalitions' websites, they do the same thing. What a great way to allow people to safely park their bikes at an event and to also raise awareness in the community of the Cycling Coalition. In looking at the list of community events locally in our area, this would be an easy way to make people aware of this group's existence.

Any feedback???
