The Bicycles Of Oxford

I am at Paddington and the train at the platform is the 11.40 Paddington- Oxford. There are regular trains to Oxford and purchase of tickets is easily done at the ticket machines, just choose your destination and pay either by cash or card.  I choose the cheapest option, that is the off peak day return.This Oxford visit is at the invitation of Peter who was my room mate during the Vietnam cycling holiday, anytime you are in UK come and see me at my home in Oxford, thats what he said.


The train journey only take 1 hour and arrive too early for the appointment. To kill time I  walk around the City of Oxford and come across this tricycle, too big for a child, could have been owned by a physically challenged.
This is Peter's commuting bike which he uses to and from his office, even though he owns a mean 2 seater Mercedes CLK 

At Oxford Rail Station there is a bicycle car park where thousand of bikes are temporarily left by commuters. Mostly the bikes are strong locked, a suggestion of theft issue as prevailing.
