Cycle parking

Cycle parking is provided across Worcestershire, making it easier to get around by bike. There are three main types of cycle parking available:

Sheffield Stands

These are the most popular form of cycle parking and consist of a piece of steel that is attached to the ground in an upside down U shape. The advantage of the Sheffield Stand is that you can attach both wheels and the frame to the stand.

Butterfly Stands

These stands are often attached to walls and consist of a clip to which the front wheel of the bike can be secured. Unlike the Sheffield Stands, the frame is not secured so cyclists are advised to use a Sheffield Stand if a choice is available.

Cycle lockers

The most secure way to leave your bike if you are going to be away for more than a few hours. Lockers are currently available at Great Malvern, Bromsgrove, Pershore and Evesham train stations. Contact staff in the ticket offices at these stations if you are interested in using one of the lockers.

Cycle parking facilities are marked on all cycling maps produced by the county council.
