Hello! This site is for everyone who would like to cycle in Birmingham - but doesn't! Why not leave that car at home sometimes and cycle those short or local journeys?
!
There is a poor perception of cycling in Birmingham, often expressed by those who do not (but may like to) cycle - 'dangerous', 'too much fast traffic', 'too few cycle lanes or facilities'. But any visit to the city will find occupied cycle stands, cycles secured in many other places, some cycle lanes and other priority measures, even cycles being ridden! So not everyone shares the concerns mentioned above. This site may help to change YOUR percepion too and start using that bike in the garage instead of the car - for some journeys - occasionally? Click on the images to access the other sections.
