DOWNTOWN — Bicyclists can hop on a sky-blue Divvy bicycle this summer without fear of not being able to dock it, officials said Friday.

The bike-sharing service will offer a free valet service at busy locations through the end of August, officials said.

"This summer, we're committed to making the experience of docking just as easy and fun as the ride itself," Divvy General Manager Elliot Greenberger said in a statement. "We want to help Chicagoans and visitors navigate the city in a fun, healthy way."

The valet service will also be offered at the city's Fourth of July celebration, the Air and Water Show and other summer events, officials said.

The stations will be staffed with a Divvy staff member who will be able to accept more bikes than a station would typically allow, so riders are guaranteed a spot to drop off their bike even if all of the docks are full.

The bike-sharing service will also offer $2 discounts during Memorial Day weekend, officials said.

Valet service will be offered Monday at these locations:

• From noon to 8 p.m. at Streeter Drive and Grand Avenue, Navy Pier
