- Haven’t studied in Oxford? No worries, the student town has also a lot to offer to cyclists. You can bike along the elegant honey-coloured university buildings and relax in the quiet, green backyards hiding along the picturesque streets.
- Explore Lake District by bike. The region situated in Northern England offers more than 3.200 kilometres of cycling tracks, 12 of England’s biggest lakes and a lively tea culture.
Tips
- The United Kingdom is known for its unstable weather. You should always be well-prepared and pack waterproof clothes just in case.
- If there’s no cycling lane, cyclists aren’t allowed to use the pavement but have to cycle on the street instead.
- Take care! The streets in the United Kingdom are often very narrow and well-trafficked.
