Cyclists can park at the Triangle Loop bike rack near Town Dock and David Onley Park, which holds up to 10 bikes. These racks are for short-term daily parking; bikes left long-term may be removed.
Active transportation means using your own power like walking, biking, or rolling to get around. The Town of Midland is committed to improving active transportation through cycling facilities, trails, and transit options.
