About Pedal & Park

Pedal & Park provides free parking for bicycles and rollerblades at public events. We do this to encourage use of non-motorized transportation alternatives, promote use of trails and greenways, dispense relevant recreational literature and raise funds for the partnering not-for-profit organizations. In the past nine years, we have parked almost 20,000 bikes.

Our free bicycle parking is made possible by a subsidy from the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO).

The MPO, as season sponsor since 2001, pays a $1 parking fee subsidy for each bike checked. The proceeds from that sponsorship are shared by the participating not-for-profit partner organizations.

“Our support of Pedal & Park is an investment in transportation system efficiency and regional health,” says MPO Manager/Master Planner Mike Dearing. “Programs like this one encourage people to use their bikes for transportation, not just recreation. That improves traffic flow, parking, area mobility and regional air quality for everyone.”
