On Monday 16th October, there will be a slow roll and candlelight vigil in remembrance of cycle users killed on Birmingham's roads, most recently Suzanna Bull at the junction of Pershore Road and Priory Road. (Event page with details here) Push Bikes is helping to let people know about event.

The first section of the Birmingham Cycle Revolution is drawing to a close, and so we are starting to review the routes that have been made. This is a review of the A47 Parkway route that goes from Millennium Point alongside the A47 dual carriageway to Spitfire Island and the edge of Castle Vale. Although the initial plans included works to improve the underpasses at Ashted Circus, a 'pinch-point' scheme to do away with the whole island has superseded the BCR plans, and so that section of the route is being left alone for the moment.

In the middle of April I blogged about the confusion over the route for cycles along Corporation Street to New Street station. In that blog I noted a funny sign on Cherry Street that was clearly part of the cycle route, yet had a 'walking man' symbol instead of a cycle symbol. "Must be a mistake" I thought. No. I was wrong, as I found out last week on my way to a Birmingham Cycle Revolution stakeholders' meeting.
