Route 1378 covers 12.89 km in about 30 minutes as one stage through Wood Farm, Headington Quarry, Headington, Barton, Old Headington and Northway. Limits run from 20 to 70 mph, and it is the only route at this centre with two marked bike lanes, so cyclist awareness matters throughout despite there being no roundabouts.

Watch Out For

  • Two bike lanes where cyclists share the carriageway.
  • Thirteen signalled junctions with regular stops.
  • The shopping run of Quarry High Street with pedestrians and parked cars.

Route Features

  • The busy London Road through Headington with buses.
  • The faster North Way at higher speed.
  • Six left and six right turns, an even split.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Check mirrors and blind spots for cyclists before every left turn.
  • Time your approach to the lights to keep moving smoothly.
