Is your business Cycling Friendly?
You could benefit from free enhanced promotion
We'd like to celebrate and promote businesses who meet or exceed a set of requirements based on facilities, services and information. The aim is to ensure that visitors can easily access information specifically relating to cycling, highlighting businesses that offer facilities to meet the needs of cyclists.
If you offer the right facilities, services and information, you can sign up to the Cycling Friendly scheme free. Once accepted, you'll get the Cycling Friendly logo to use on your website, window sticker, and be included on an interactive map on the North York Moors National Park website with a link to your website.
We've got a number of categories for Cycling Friendly - cafes, tea rooms and pubs, accommodation providers, repair stations and activity providers. You can apply for all of them if you wish!
The North York Moors Cycling Friendly scheme is part of a wider EARFD-funded project to promote outdoor activities.
The aim is to boost tourism by working with businesses to collectively promote the area’s special character and encourage visitors to explore the area in more depth, staying longer and spending more, all year round.
