Welcome to bike valet inc. The mission of this organization is to find a storefront close to a busy shopping area, such as a spot that is currently available across the street from Safeway and then set up a valet bike parking service inside of the storefront. Having this service be available to shoppers takes away the fear of having your bike stolen or vandalized and thereby increases the chances people will ride their bikes to go shopping.
Right now the goal is to raise at least $20000 to $30000 to cover start up costs and at least one year of rent on the storefront.
Bike valet inc now has 501c3 status, so all donations are tax deductible.

That idea I had about 44 w Broadway needs more work, sorry.
A better strategy is to acquire a set of 3 brand new e bikes or e scooters that I will rent by meeting people at the bus stop at w 13th ave and charnelton st, eugene Oregon 97401 for $30 per day plus a $9 per rental damage and theft waiver. The bikes also come with a clean helmet that has lights on it for safer nighttime riding and a u lock and a backpack to hold those items. Look for a link to the bike rental website to appear in this space sometime before the grand opening on March 31st, 2024.
After I manage to rent more than an average of one bike per day for a few months then I will move to a cheap rent storefront in or near downtown eugene.
At that point it will be practical to ramp up the business to include more rental e bikes and valet parking of customers bikes and ebikes.
There is no reason why escooters need to be rented without an attendant watching over them. There is more than enough profit in renting escooters to have a rental shop every mile or so with a full staff renting them out and also providing valet parking for the customers own bikes. The job killing scheme presented by superpedestrian is unnecessary and actually counterproductive because it eliminates a funding source for valet bike parking.
