    Bike to the Fair
    Come to the Marin County Fair on a bike and you stay lean while the earth stays clean. Marin County Bicycle Coalition volunteers will be on hand to offer free valet parking for bicycles from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. near the Main Gate. Considering how long it takes to get through traffic and find a place to park, biking might save you time. Wear comfortable clothes, your helmet, and always practice safe riding.
