The Oyster Wheel provides a series of Day rides designed for hybrid touring bikes and easily accessible from the Oyster/contactless rail and tube networks. It consists of two sets of rides:
- A loop of eight rides together creating a complete circuit of London, with each day starting and finishing at an Oyster station – the Oyster Loop
- Eight rides back from those same stations to Tower Bridge – the Oyster Spokes.
The menu at the top of the page provides access to those rides, whilst the blog provides updates on progress.
I created the Oyster Wheel whilst supporting my wife who is suffering from Pancreatic Cancer. If having tried out the Routes you would like to donate to Pancreatic Cancer then my donations page can be found at Oyster Wheel Donations. Thank you.

What I wanted to achieve in this Spoke was to find a way of connecting these together using London Cycle Network routes. The reality is that the absence… Read more
