Hi Wethepeople, I do not commute in Birmingham, but do commute nearby. My commute is from Solihull to Hampton station then from Coventry to Whitley Village (Coventry) in the morning and then cycle all the way from Whitley village to Solihull in the evening. I cycle close to the centre of Coventry in both cases. If I can be of help let me know.

Signed up, and wearing the camera today.
I have had to curtail my usual oggling at the local sights and concentrate on keeping up a good speed.
Had two speed merchants on the middle stretch today - both kept me honest and then some. Usually I am scalping fellow commuters at that point like they are standing still, so our Uni friend will think I am a bit slow.
Hoping for a more impressive ride home, but the wind will be in my face. Ho hum..

I've tried a few other routes but I go down Hagley road cause it's down hill in the nornin and I don't get sweaty. Would be good to vary the way home though so yes please on the alt routes.
Cheers
