We talked to people to find out how they travel in Oxford.
What I like about cycling is that it makes you strong it’s fun and it’s Fun we had a car we had a car I me we had it for a long time we just almost never used it we’re both retired so uh we don’t go to work and meet people but we meet people by just coming out into the
Street and uh and to the shop there are three main reasons I like to cycle cost health and the environmental impact there are quite a few different reasons why we as a family have chosen to cycle Oxford’s a medieval city and there’s only so many cars it can take climate
Reasons and I suppose getting exercise and fresh air uh sometimes when it’s stormy I don’t particularly look forward to the fresh air but it is good to get out and get moving when you’re in a car you see the world go by when you’re on a bike you see a
Bit more of the world but when you walk you meet people you say hello to them when I moved to Oxford I made the decision not to purchase a car um and to cycle because I saw that that’s what was happening here I saw a lot of people on
Cycles and I found it a really efficient affordable mode of Transport here and it’s actually really nice to leave work and be able to switch off a little bit by cycling we have not abandoned the car completely if we need it we will rent a
Car uh and if we need it for longer trips and we can’t get there with other means whether it’s trains or buses then we will take the car A
