I am all for bikes rather than cars..
but a level of bike anarchy has broken out in Oxford with this innovation and somehow order needs to be achieved ??
a friend hurtled headlong over her handle bars yesterday as two bikers on hire bikes veered either side as they came towards her..
and add to that..
Anybody concerned about the junctions (would-be roundabouts) near Oxford Hotel and the station. Seems to me this an area waiting for a messy disaster to happen before too long.
Happy days

I lived in Amsterdam for a year - there in the centre you get perhaps
the densest cycling traffic on Earth (used to be in Asia, but it seems
that they got motorised there). Oxford is far, far from that, to get
to that level you need another 3-fold or so increase.
Naturally, it assumes more respect from the traffic participants than
one sees now in Oxford, from cyclists and from car drivers alike.
E.g. on Hayfield/Kingston/Walton cars speeding and overtaking cyclists
is pretty bad.
The most chaotic street is definitely New Inn Hall St. - with cars
parked so that pedestrians are tempted to jay-walk, and most do...
Bike paths and lanes are crap here (just look at these stupidly wide
walkways on Woodstock Rd.), too, as well as bike racks are badly
designed, and accommodate only half of the bikes (one can also have
2-level bike racks, by the way...) possible on the given space.
Oh well. Introduce a congestion charge for cars, and police the
cyclists on the streets... ;-)
