Cycle Hub Station

York's city centre cycle Hub Station is now open for business. Bike Rescue team at the new Hub Station

Work was recently completed on £285,000 project that saw a former electricity substation on the banks of the River Ouse transformed into a focal point for cycling-related activity. Located opposite the Aviva building and next to Lendal Bridge, the Hub Station is situated directly on a busy, riverside cycle route.

As well as offering secure cycle parking for 100 cycles, the Hub Station features a display and sales area, and shower, washroom, changing and toilet facilities.

City of York Council provided funding from its Local Transport Plan budget towards the cost of the project and the remainder of the money came from Cycling City York. The Hub Station has been developed and will be run by York-based community interest company The Bike Rescue Project, which will lease the building from the council for a period of 30 years. For the first five years the building will be leased at a peppercorn rent to allow the project to become established and sustainable.
