| You can drive right into the park 24/7/365. A car pass is $20. Individuals on bike, foot, or similar are $10. These passes are good for 7 days.
Between October/November and May check on road availabitlity. Some of the parks roads close due to snow. You can always drive into and around Yosemite Valley.
There's also a public shuttle service called YARTS that transports people between "gateway communities" and the park.

The park is pretty huge. There are sort of two main outposts with park campsites and amenities, Yosemite Valley and Tuolumne Meadows. You can drive between the two if the roads are open.
You can rent a bike in Yosemite Valley if you just want to wheel around that area. There are certainly some nice bike rides there. There is also a shuttle services that runs throughout the park's roads (and to some of the outlying towns).

There are bears in Yosemite. And with all the people (and their delicious food) hanging around, bears have learned how to get a quick snack: check the campsites.
If you're camping in one of the sites in Yosemite Valley be sure to put anything that smells remotely tasty (like food, toothpaste, etc.) in one of the provided bear boxes. Don't leave it in your car; there are videos in the visitor's centers of bears opening up a Jeep Grand Cherokee like a bag of Doritos.
If you're heading out into the wild familiarize yourself with bear-bagging and other precautions.
