Cycle parking

We are expanding and trialling different types of covered and secure cycle parking throughout Midlothian to make it more convenient to use your cycle for everyday journeys.

Covered cycle parking

These are free to use and consist of a Sheffield bicycle rack and a structure to shield the rack from the weather.

Current locations are available to the public:

• Train stations (Eskbank, Gorebridge, Newtongrange, Shawfair)
• Roslin Pavilion (next to Roslin Community Hall and gates of Roslin Primary School

In schools:

Most primary and secondary schools have covered cycle storage while some primary schools also have covered scooter storage.
