Cycling and Walking
Cycling
The University operates a bicycle loan scheme enabling employees to purchase bicycles and related equipment via an interest free loan and repayment from monthly pay.
A mobile bike repairs scheme is available via the Mobile Mechanic.
Free training courses for new, inexperienced or nervous cyclists can be arranged for staff. For details please contact the University Sustainable Travel Officer.
Cycle registration packs can be purchased directly from University Security Services. If a registered item is stolen, it must be reported to both the police (tel: 08458 505 505) and the University (tel 01865 272944).
An email network for Oxford University student and staff cyclists is available. It's an informal low-volume email list to support bicycle users in the University and colleges. To subscribe, send an (empty) message to:
bug-oxu-subscribe@maillist.ox.ac.uk. To cut down on spam, membership is restricted to people with ox.ac.uk email addresses.
Walking
Information on walking in Oxford is available from the Oxford Pedestrians Association.
A number of local rambling groups offer advice and activities for walkers, as does the national organisation Living Streets.
