Park & Pedal

The Park & Pedal scheme helps you to combine cycling with York's Park & Ride services. It's a fast way to commute or shop and a great way to fit some physical activity into your day.

Simply drive to a Park & Ride site, park for free and complete the rest of your journey into York by bike.

Alternatively, you can cycle to any Park & Ride site, park your bike and then hop onto one of the fast and frequent Park & Ride bus services into the city.

You can either bring your bike with you on each trip (if you have a folding bike or a bike rack attached to your car) or you can store your bike securely at a Park & Ride site using one of our lockers. Secure cycle lockers have been installed at all 6 Park & Ride sites. All sites are covered by 24-hour CCTV surveillance.

Currently the cycle lockers are only available for longer term rentals (ie. at least one calendar month) and can’t be rented by the day, however, day rental is being explored as part of future improvements to the Park & Ride site offer.

Please note there are some exceptions in terms of who can and can’t rent cycle lockers at some of the sites:

  • The cycle lockers at the Designer Outlet Park & Ride are not available to staff who work at businesses on the site
  • Monks Cross Park & Ride lockers are not available to people intending to park and travel to either the Monks Cross shopping estate, the Vangarde site or the Community Stadium
  • Askham Bar lockers are not available for staff or students from York College
  • Grimston Bar lockers are not available for staff or students from University of York or York Science Park
  • Poppleton Bar lockers are not available for staff working at Northminster Business Park
