Following the success of the Google cycling map of Oxford, Cycling UK Oxfordshire has launched a version for Oxfordshire. It was created by around 60 experienced cyclists and campaign groups across the county and is intended for novice, less confident and younger cyclists. \n

\nThe map covers the largest towns and villages in Oxfordshire, from Abingdon to Witney. It will be regularly updated and expanded. Many of the routes contain notes from local cyclists, offering tips. <\/p> Open in Google Maps<\/a><\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>
