Public attitudes towards cycling are focused on “safety” – but what are the health effects? Dr Oliver Mytton, Lecturer in Public Health, will give a talk entitled Active travel – good for your health, but how good? in Oxford at St Michaels in the Northgate (at the junction of Ship St and Cornmarket).
An idea from the Charlbury Cycling Group for a route from Charlbury to Finstock has been taken up by the Cornbury Estate on a trial basis. See the full story here in the Witney Gazette.
The trial ends Sep 30th so if you’re interested best try it out sooner rather than later.
There are many reasons for taking a trip to Charlbury: the train station, the Rose & Crown and the Good Food Shop and Cafe are some.
We tried it on the tandem not realising there’s a kissing gate half way along the route – that was a real struggle. There’s also a short section of field which doesn’t look suitable during wet spells, but otherwise it’s a delightful alternative to the fast, hilly B4022.
