OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Efficient Cycling in Oxford and Headington
Open to University and NHS staff
Whether you’re an experienced cycle commuter or have never ridden on two wheels, there’s something for everyone in this engaging talk. Sam Chappell, an experienced cyclist and trainer of Bikeability (bikeability.dft.gov.uk/the-three-levels/cycling-skills-for-adults), will be giving two presentations on effective, safe, and enjoyable cycling. He will explain how to efficiently negotiate bus, car, and pedestrian traffic, how to position yourself on the road, how to work around other cyclists, and how to cycle more easily anywhere in the world. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to sign up for practical sessions where an experienced cycle training instructor from Broken Spoke (bsbcoop.org) will review your road skills one-on-one or teach you how to balance for the first time. Booking not required, just turn up on the day. – See more at: new.talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/49576311-3ce5-4da5-9399-373141d8e92b/#sthash.DliOQIZt.dpuf
