City of York Cycling Information

This page links to some of the official City of York Council cycling information.

City of York Cycling Information: Cycling Page

This is the council's cycling page. It only has a very little information, but it does give contact details for the Walking and Cycling Officer, including the email walking.cycling@york.gov.uk.

City of York Cycling Information: Map

Some of the council's cycling information is available on iTravel York web pages. iTravel York was set up using money from the government's Local Sustainable Transport Fund, as this 2012 video explains.

A York cycle route map is available as a PDF download.

8. Millennium Bridge to Hob Moor and Acomb Wood

City of York Cycling Information: Training

Various different types of training are available:

• extra private Bikeability lessons
• Urban Cycle Skills. Disappointingly this turns out to be lessons in cycling on the road in an urban area, not BMX-ing around the tough streets of the South Bank

City of York Cycling Information: Free E-Bike Trial

The council is working with York's bike shops so local residents can have a week's e-bike trial for free, as part of e-cycle switch.

There is also an offer of £300 off e-bike purchases, including the option of inclusive e-cycles from Get Cycling.
