It's particularly difficult for disabled cyclists, some of whom have no other alternatives than their bikes.

Bicester BUG notified the designers and officers during consultation, and again prior to planning approval. Despite this, the plans remained the same. Finally, after submitting a formal complaint, we have confirmation that the path will now remain a Shared Path, as it is today.

It may seem crazy (we certainly thought so) but @OxfordshireCC's approved plans for the Banbury Road Roundabout would have seen all cyclists, many of whom are children on the way to school, forced onto a short 40mph section of B4100.

Did you know that the approved Banbury Road Roundabout scheme would have removed the existing Shared Path, cutting off Elmsbrook for cyclists? #bicester #elmsbrook
