Many thanks for signing up. Much appreciated.
The canal towpaths are a great way to get in and out of Brum and deservedly popular with cyclists. Unfortunately getting to and from them can be a bit of a lottery particularly on the east of the city and of course they are only useful if they are anywhere near your destination. That one past the uni is my commute when I need to get to the city centre but for most of the winter months they are unlit, icy and muddy - not great and sometimes a salted road is the only option.
The council have muted many other schemes and two major segregated routes. Sadly, these have been beset with planning problems and others seem to have been dropped with no signs of a replacement. We have seen no sign of any of them yet.....
