Park and cycle

What is park and cycle?

Park and Cycle works in the same way as Park and Ride but with bicycles, and it’s completely free! Simply park your car at the Park and Ride, take out your bike and cycle the rest of the way to work.

There are Park and Cycle spaces at all Exeter Park and Ride sites. You need a valid annual permit to avoid incurring a penalty charge and your journey must be a regular commute.

A limited number of lockers for secure bicycle storage are also available at Matford and Sowton Park and Ride sites and Barnstaple. These lockers are rented out and managed by Bikeaway Ltd. You can check the current availability of lockers at each site on their website under the ‘Rent a Locker’ section at the bottom of the page.
