Cycling round Oxford


The last day of lectures! Alice invited me and Sam to a green cycling treasure hunt around Oxford. We met up with people in Broad Street and had to follow some clues on a treasure map to find different places in Oxford. We cycled quickly around Ship street, past Christ Church (to the wrong Rose Lane) and the Magdalen before reaching Plantation Road and Port Meadow. At each of the stops there were some environmentaly-related things to do e.g. guess the amount of CO2 produced by airlines each year. We then joined the rest of the people at Cardigan street for some green (vegan) curry which was surprisingly nice (I'd be the worst vegetarian/ vegan in the world!). It was really fun to speed round Oxford on the bikes but I am very jealous of Sam's super huge moutain bike with AMAZING suspension...he could even cycle up stairs :O
