Goring Gap Cycling

Bikes are ideal for short “utility” trips, whether it be to the shops, library, school or work. Goring has a number of bike stands located around the village, making it possible to secure your bike while commuting by train from Goring & Streatley station or shopping in the High Street. For students at Langtree School or Henley College, cycling can be quicker than using the school bus.

Commuting by bike is a great way of getting “free” exercise – no need to go to the gym, as it can just fit in to the daily routine. Reading Council’s changeable message sign on Caversham Bridge sometimes says “Go by bike – lose pounds and save £££s”. Some Goring residents who work in Reading ride all the way by bike; others take their bike on the train and use it to ride the last mile or two in Reading. Other Goring residents ride to work in Crowmarsh or Wallingford, or take the train to Didcot then cycle to the Harwell campus.
