The new Denver Bicycle Club offers downtown bicycle commuters not only valet bicycle parking, but also two lockers, one for smelly bike clothes and one large enough to hold a whole week’s office clothes. Unfortunately, you must also pay for the exercise equipment, lounge and sauna. Bike maintenance, meals, massage and clothes washing is extra. Of course, if $ 100/month is not a problem, it sure must make commuting downtown by bike delightful.
