A public health doctor in her earlier career, Dr Hill has had a longstanding passion for cycling.

Her journey advocating for cycling and cyclists began in 2005 with Cycling England, an independent body funded by the Department of Transport, before moving on to Cyclox in 2008.

Cyclox campaigns to put "cycling at the heart of Oxford’s future" and aims to get more people cycling, more often, and more safely in and around Oxford.
