Is there an "on demand" bike hire scheme in Oxford?

Is there an "on demand" bike hire scheme in Oxford? - Wanted Lettering Text on Black Background

Oxford is well known as a city with lots of cyclists, and (by UK standards at least) fairly good cycling infrastructure

Given that, and given how many tourists there are, I would've expected to find a bike hire scheme like in London or Paris, where you could rent bikes by the half hour on demand from docking stations.

However, I can't seem to find any such docking stations around any of the main tourist sites in the city centre. Is there a scheme?
