5. Tips for Cycling in Oxford
Step 1 Book a place on a guided cycling tour of Oxford and Oxfordshire if you are not comfortable with charting your own course through town or the English countryside. Tour companies include Bainton Bikes and Capital Sport. These tours often include bike rental. If you choose this option, skip all other steps. Step 2 Rent (or as the British say, hire) a bicycle. A number of shops in Oxford, such as Bainton Bikes or BikeZone, have rental bikes available. Rent a bike for a specific trip or for your entire stay in Oxford. Renting or purchasing a cycling helmet is recommended but not required in the United Kingdom. Step 3 Download the Oxford and Oxfordshire Cycling Routes Map from the Oxfordshire Council website and use other cyclist resources such as Bikley.com to select your route. You could use the Oxfordshire Way to plot a one-way course out to the picturesque Cotswolds Hills or chart a loop encompassing the famed Uffington White Horse chalk figure. Step 4 Ride your bike on designated bike paths as much as possible and avoid sidewalks as much as you can. British law regarding where you can and cannot ride your bike is as confusing as the terms used to differentiate between roads and sidewalks (footpaths, pavements, footways and highways, just to name four), but as a rule you should never be on a sidewalk. - Via USA Today
