Biking
2012 saw the finish of years of hard work to make Oxford’s roads bike friendly. Now there are miles of bike paths for the road bike enthusiast as well as a number of mountain bike trails, all within a stones throw from town.
Road Routes
Oxford has a number of road routes and a Pathways Commission that is dedicated to keeping the road safer for cyclists. To find out more about the Pathways Commission and see maps of different routes, please view the Lafayette Oxford University Pathways Map
