Cyclepath to Oxford on north side of the A40. Two problems with this path: (a) it is narrow - so watch out for bikes coming the other way, and (b) at night you tend to get dazzled by car headlights if travelling towards Oxford.

Navigating the Green Road roundabout. Not recommended to do this on the road unless you are very experienced and very brave. Cross Bayswater Road on the surface taking care to look out for traffic, particularly cars coming off the roundabout. There is then an underpass which you can use to cross the A40 (advisory 'cyclist dismount' signs, but no 'cycling prohibited' signs - however the underpass is narrow, so give way to pedestrians)

Use the Croft in preference to New High Street. This provides a quiet and safe route between Bury Knowe nad the JR. However, be alert for pedestrians, particularly on blind corners and emerging from houses and gateways directly onto the street.
