Dangerous cycling

Reported via iOS anonymously at 17:58, Sunday 19 April 2026

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council and South Oxfordshire District Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9319336.

The footpath from great western park / freeman road to mendip heights frequent has cyclists / e-scooter riders travelling at speed around the 90 degree corners with no visibility.

They expect pedestrians / dog walkers / those with limited mobility to get out of their way so they don’t have to slow / stop.

When I have challenged this I have been sworn at, threatened, etc.

Please can the council consider installing barriers / infrastructure to slow cyclists on this narrow footpath with poor visibility.

This is *not* a designated cycle path. While I appreciate how convenient it is to cyclists, current behaviour is dangerous and won’t stop until someone is seriously hurt or infrastructure is installed.

Council ref: ENQ261097409

  • Thank you for your request. I have added this to our list of requests for new street furniture. It will be investigated to see if a barrier can be legally installed, (as we have to allow certain widths for accessibility) and then put forward for if funding is available. In the mean time, any enforcement of restricted items (bicycles, e-scooters etc) lies with Thames Valley Police
