erm... No?!?!
I think the problem is it's French!!! We Brits are too stubborn to learn languages, and the Frogs wont admit that English is an international language and should therefore be on their site!!!
Have seen a couple of good reviews and the specs seem good. Bit pricey though. As for the rear set-up - resembles an Orange?!?!

The only cycling done in Oxbridge is by students who arent allowed to have their own cars there (they have to sign sthg to that effect before they are enrolled! ) and the rowing coach riding the towpaths shouting "stroke, stroke, stroke..."!!!!

Oxford + Cambridge = Oxbridge
Both are flat and full of students on bikes
and coaches on bikes on towpaths shouting.....

Witney to Burford is less than 15 minutes. Do it all the time when going to the out-laws (sorry, in-laws)

yeh, my favourite place is a little wood called pinsley woods, i think it comes up on google maps as church hanborough woods, basically search church hanborough and its the woods just above it. also shotover county park, just on the oxford ringroad. however dont expect it to be like anything your used to, the area is very flat, but the woods mentioned have a nice bit of singletrack around the outside.

Blenheim grounds - enter from Long Hanborough for free, then cycle around, get some pics of the house. Flat area, but nice for an easy ride out.
