New robo-postbox Useful but slightly ruined the timeless aesthetic of the old ones

Does anyone know how on earth you snap a bike frame like this as I've just done that 853 steel frame, 8 years old, never crashed it or even ridden it in the rain. What on earth 😭😭

Assume drivers have to get out and push too right 🤔

Well definitely going to be trying this one out www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2544125...

In an Oxford barbers 🙃

Something very delightfully Oxford about someone taking the time to hand-paint a temporary Queens Lane sign when scaffolding covers the original

Delighted with this purchase

A fatberg the size of a blue whale has been removed from Oxford’s sewers. It took two weeks to remove the 120-tonne lump of congealed fat, oil, grease and wipes, while maintaining Oxford’s wastewater flow and guarding against high gas levels elevated by the fatberg.

Unofficial bridge champion position CONFIRMED with 2x bits about 2x different bridges in the press today 🌉✨ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2535010...

Do love some tufted vetch 🥰

On the radio this morning talking about the impact of congestion charge on the ice rink 🏒 lots of kit ⏲️ weird times of day 🗺️ travelling huge distances 📅 multiple times a week 👩‍👦 lots of juniors Could be absolutely disastrous for clubs & rink without an exemption www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Other cities may have better vistas and landmarks, or more impressive colonnades and sprawling public spaces, but few cities do better *glimpses* than Oxford. Nobody can touch us when it comes to half-seen things that stick in the memory.

This is one of my favourite views in Oxford As you pass under the Bridge of Sighs, the gothic spire of Essex College chapel flashes into view for a moment before being lost behind the Sheldonian again. Sublime.

An Oxford landlord will have to pay over £11,000 after poor conditions were uncovered in one of his rental properties. Faults included an inadequate fire alarm, lacking ventilation, missing stair guards, and badly maintained fire doors. www.oxford.gov.uk/news/article...

Wantage 🤝 Winchester Proper good statues of Alfred the Great 🫶

Just did a task that I've been putting off for 13 months It took 20 mins 🥲

Found a couple of nice Oxfordshire mosaics this week 1) Witney mosaic sheep 2) Kidlington mosaic... flamingos??

Great sign on the A40

Cracking new bakery just opened on the High Street, love to see it 🤩

The wheel benders at Kidlington Library 😭😱😱

Cracking set of desire lines at Oxford Parkway 👌

Today I learnt that bumblebees will use globe thistles to shelter from the rain 🥹

Big thumbs up to whoever planted these sunflowers on Abingdon Road 🫶

2000 years ago: the Romans would let an aqueduct destroy the Gardon Valley. We need clean water, but at what cost?

Guess I'll fix it myself then 🫡🫡

Do hope this comes off, it would be a great benefit to the city Notable how common it is in many European cities already www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Size of Glastonbury vs Oxford 🤩 gsp8181.co.uk/glasto/

I hope Ozzy has a brother we can put in Oxford station 🤪 (No chance of smuggling this one onto a cross country train)

From an article about clean air zone in Newcastle, fairly horrific reminder of how polluted some of our cities are. This is definitely hospitalising people. Oxford, by contrast, is now sub 30 nearly everywhere www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-e...

Does anyone know the right @ox.ac.uk contact to get these fixed? 👀

The bike parking at the new Life and Mind building on South Parks Road is SO nearly perfect ✅ Lots of them ✅ Correct spacing ✅ Right location BUT ✖️ Artsy scratchy racks (with matching bollards which is cute) ✖️ Secured to ground with 2x 13mm bolts, i.e. you can steal bikes with a spanner 7/10

Micro-mobility: it's for everyone 🎩

To everything... There is a season... #Oxford

Very pleased that Oxford has +1 live music venue as of this evening! 👨‍🎤🎸

Deeply odd bike saddle I spotted in Oxford today 🤔

Tonight I’m supporting Labour’s plan for better buses. Oxford Labour’s survey of Oxford residents showed people want 🚍 more buses 🚍 more local control over routes That’s what Heidi Alexander’s Bus Services Bill will deliver
