      Want to see Metallica? Green Day? Bruins football? With free parking? Easy peasy. Just ride your bike.

      By Melanie Hooks and Misch Anderson

      Looks like the Rose Bowl is upgrading its experiment with their free bike valet service to permanent status. Now all you have to do to avoid the crowded lots is wheel yourself in.

      Thanks to local nonprofit Bike San Gabriel, who provides the service, more than 450 people took advantage of this new perk during the recent U2 concerts and Arroyo Seco Weekend music festival.

      In fact, you can check most anything on wheels, including skateboards and scooters.  Check the online schedule for full details.

      Thanks to Misch Anderson of Pasadena Complete Streets Coalition for the heads up!
