We campaign to put cycling at the heart of Oxford’s future.
Our mission is to get more people cycling, more often, and more safely.

Is cycling fun?
Not really. I mean no more than walking is.
At Cyclox, we think of cycling as a way for getting from A to B. Of course it can be fun - riding with friends, riding somewhere where there's no traffic and lovely views, but mostly it's neither fun or not fun, it's just transport.

Tim laments about how the UK bike industry is centred around leisure and sports in our new podcast: Carspiracy.
This diminishes cycling as a legitimate form of transport with serious negative impacts for those of us trying to sell and service cargo bikes and utility cycles.

Londoners are breathing cleaner air now.
When emissions from traffic fall, the air gets cleaner. You just need fewer vehicles and cleaner vehicles.
We're looking forward to cleaner air in Oxford after the introduction of the temporary congestion charge.

1)You will have to pay to drive into and around Oxford
2)Businesses will go out of business because it won't be possible to drive to the front door

Will Oxford's Congestion Charge be as effective as the one in Paris?
We're hoping more people will try cycling and enjoy safer roads and cleaner air.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”
Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.
Common sense.
Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Expensive luxury or cheap alternative to the car?
E cargo bikes are cheaper to buy and to run than cars but a very expensive addition (up front cost) to a household already running a car.
We need to seriously consider how to support the rapid proliferation of such alternative modes of transport.
