Is there a limit to the number of bikes the bike valet can accept?

Oh yeah, and Jim is right. No smaller than 10" in diameter.

In addition to what Henry said, you also get a commemorative ticket and spoke card. And, y'know how sometimes you walk back toward your bike and think, 'I hope it's still there.' You won't have to think that now. Peace of mind - you can't buy that.

They can definitely cut through u-locks.

The other perk of the valet is if you have panniers, bike lights, water bottles, or other stuff attached to your bike you won't have to worry about taking all these off and carrying them with you. The valet guarantees your stuff won't be stolen.

But can they cut through a U-Lock? Is that even possible?

It comes down to this. You can have caring, cyclist centric people watch your bike for *free*, or you can have the secret Service or a thief just pluck it off the street for no reason.

People - the Secret Service is the key mo-fo here. & "the parade perimeter" is the key phrase. If your bike is south of P Street & the Secret Service doesn't like the look of your bike or where it's chained, the chain will be cut.
