You may also find the current flag status of the river useful. This page tracks the level of the Isis at Friar's Wharf; Geraint Jones informs me that 15" to 20" above normal there seems to be a good match for a flooded path.
The Environment Agency has an automated level meter at the Southern end of Mesopotamia with two readings available: upstream and downstream. Once calibrated against the flooding of the path these should provide a useful warning mechanism.

Cycle path still clear about 3pm. Bottom of Ferry Road flooded, but easy to cycle though it to Edgeway Road, though maybe not up Ferry Road. Pedestrians will get wet feet.

Around 9:30 Monday 23rd - cycle path completely dry coming from Linacre, all the way to the cattle grid at Ferry Road. Wellies needed there. Expect the path to be flooded by this afternoon.

Another reminder that this page is for updates on the path's status :-) I've
\nedited/removed a couple of posts to avoid the whole e-bike arguments starting up
\nagain.

\nMy understanding from a news article is that the police were involved and have appealed for witnesses, though there's nothing I can see on their website. If anyone does have any information they should obviously contact the police directly.

Did anyone witness the horrible bike crash 5.20pm Sunday near the rollers? Witnesses said the electric cyclist drove off, the real cyclist seemed to be unconscious and bleeding and paramedics took him to JR. If you saw it, tell the police and Oxford Mail.

I found the lenses from a pair of glasses this morning at the corner, Marston end. I put them carefully on the wooden fence where the cycle path meets the footpath to the old ferry point. I hope the owner finds them!

“ An A-road walks into a bar and asks for a pint. The barman serves him, but he looks really tough and the barman worries that there'll be trouble.
“ Then a dual carriage way walks in and buys a pint. The barman again notes that he looks tough and says, ‘Look, I don't want any trouble, so could you sit in that corner away from the A-road?’ So the dual carriage way does.
“ Soon afterwards, in walks a motorway and gets a pint, who looks extremely tough, so the barman makes him sit in another corner away from the other two roads.
“ A bit later, a really small road walks in and buys a diet coke. The A-road, dual carriage way and motorway all look at him aghast and run out of the pub. The barman grabs the motorway on the way past and asks, ‘Why are you running out? He's a really tiny road.’
“ The motorway replies, ‘He's no road, he's a cycle path!’ ”
