The San Diego County Bicycle Coalition, an organization that advocates for and protects the rights of all people who ride bicycles, announced it will provide free valet bike parking at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines Golf Course Jan. 23-27.

The Bicycle Coalition provides these services to help relieve congestion and give fans an alternative to driving to San Diego’s premier professional golf event.

“Our partnership with Farmers Insurance is a perfect example of the positive impact bikes have on business in San Diego,” said Andy Hanshaw, executive director of the Bicycle Coalition. “Whether it’s at the Farmers Insurance Open or our local business improvement district events, we’re here to support San Diego’s economy. We parked thousands of bikes at dozens of events in San Diego County last year and look forward to another big year in 2013.”
