A Grand ‘ol cycle to Oxford Street

Posted on December 11, 2011 by Chris (Cycletastic)

On a beautiful crisp December morning the Cycletastic bike ride set out from Kilburn to discover just how easy it is to get to Oxford Street by bike and then do a bit of shopping. The route there took in fairly quiet streets and we took a nice gentle pace taking in Maida Vale, St Johns Wood, Regents Park and Harley Street. We even timed it just right to watch a bit of penguin feeding time at the zoo.
If your interested in joining us on future rides please add your comments below and subscribe on the website and we’ll be sure to let you know the next time we are off to the shops.
