St Cross College, Oxford

In Oxford, there is a place where you can buy any type of cycle that you want!

For those who want a cheap used cycle to bop around town, there are a couple of places to get one. The best place is at the Oxford Cycle Workshop. The OCW has an everchanging selection of cycles that have been reconditioned for less than a new bargain cycle. If you want an even cheaper cycle or are capable of fixing a broken cycle, the best place to look is Daily Info's Bikes For Sale page but you can also check out the cycles available on craigslist. If you have some time to wait before getting a cycle (and are really cheap), it is possible to find a cycle on Freecycle.

For those who are looking for something a little nicer or more specialized, there are several nice independent retailers in town. Here is a short list of some of them:

• Beeline Bicycles - 61-63 Cowley Road
• Bike Zone - 28-32 St Michael Street, OX1 2EB (telephone: 01865 728877)
• Cyclo-Analysts - 150 Cowley Road
• Walton Street Cycles - 78 Walton Street
• Warlands Botley Road Cycles - 63 Botley Road

And, if you are really looking for a unique bike, check out Pacific Coast Choppers, a company that used to be based in Oxford.

Dont forget to check out CycleScheme, a government backed tax scheme to allow tax efficient bicycle purchase for salaried workers.
