Cycle to Work

If you have thought about cycling to work, why not join our easy paced group rides from Wantage or Didcot to the Campus? A free breakfast will be served at DiSH on Curie Avenue.

Fed up with paying through the nose for petrol? – Why not cycle to work, save your money, get the many mental and physical health benefits and get a predictable journey time. No need for petrol, cyclists run on food and drink (fuel with no tax or VAT). As an introductory offer we will ‘fill your tank’ for free with a cyclists breakfast at DiSH.

Not Cycled to the Campus for a While? – Get back in the saddle and check out the improvements to the Campus routes, a new route from Wantage and a traffic free Chilton Road at Upton from Didcot.

Hybrid Working? – Why not make your Campus working days cycle to work days?

Supercharge Your Commute! – Our main routes are mainly off-road through the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside giving a boost to your mental and physical health & wellbeing.

Just turn up at one of our Group rides, suitable for all fitness levels.

  • Didcot Parkway, Cycle Hub – Depart 07:50 
  • Wantage, Nelson Pub – Depart 07:45  

Breakfasts are served at DiSH, Curie Avenue from 07:30 to 09:00.

If you are a regular cycle commuter, please join our group rides and help show new cyclists the joys of cycle commuting or don’t forget to call in at DiSH for a free breakfast and to say hello.

      Don’t forget the Cycle to Work Day on Wednesday 30th March.

      We need a ride leader for the Didcot group ride. If you are a regular Didcot cyclist and would like to help show new cyclists how to get to the campus please contact chair@harbug.org.uk or the same if you would like more information about being a ride leader. The route will be down the old railway line to Upton and over Hagbourne Hill.

      The website post now has a link to a Cycle to Work Day poster, please could you print a copy out and post it in your organisations notice board.
      Thanks.
