Bike parking bonanza for Wychavon – secure, sustainable and free
A new scheme is being rolled out across Wychavon offering free cycle parking and secure storage to local organisations - helping to make two-wheeled travel safer, greener and more accessible.
Whether you’re a business, school, surgery, shop, café, pub, church or community group, if you welcome staff, visitors or customers who arrive by bike, you’re encouraged to apply.
What’s on offer?
• A range of bike racks and lockable, weatherproof cycle stores
• Units designed to protect bikes from theft and the elements
• A simple way to support sustainable travel and reduce car journeys.
The initiative, funded by Wychavon and delivered by social enterprise ParkThatBike, is part of the wider Wychavon's Active Travel Action Plan to cut carbon emissions and build healthier, safer communities.
Councillor Beverley Hardman, Executive Board Member for Environment, said: "We’re introducing practical measures to make cycling safer and more convenient. This scheme supports our commitment to reducing traffic, improving air quality and creating welcoming spaces for cyclists.
“We all need to think about the way we travel around the district and convenient parking makes cycling an easier and attractive travel option. I urge all organisations to take advantage of this fantastic offer and would encourage residents to put in their requests for cycle storage and racks.”
Peter Andrews, ParkThatBike Managing Director, added: “High-quality cycle parking helps prevent theft and damage, while keeping premises tidy and secure. We’re excited to support organisations across Wychavon in becoming more cycle-friendly.”
