Art All Night
Ride and we'll valet park your bike and watch it free of charge! 
Art All Night Lawrenceville is one of Pittsburgh's most
popular and populist arts events.
This year the organizers are making a conscious effort to reduce the overall carbon footprint of the event by encouraging people to walk, bike, take public transit, or carpool. Bike Pittsburgh is providing a bike valet service (think of it as a coat check, but for bikes) so that you don't have to worry about your ride while you enjoy the art and music.

during the "cold start" phase while the car is warming up. Another
reason to walk or take a bike for short trips! (Source: EPA)
