Biking to Birmingham

As the 19th July gets closer and the tunnel closures start to loom larger ahead of drivers, why not think about biking into the city from Acocks Green?

CENTRO have organised led cycle rides along recommended cycle routes (on road and traffic-free) over the next few weeks:

• Mon 8 July
• Friday 19 July
• Mon 22 July
• Mon 29 July

The rides leave from Acocks Green station car park. Be there at 7:30am for a 7:45am departure, with a planned arrival time of 8:30am at Moor Street Station and covering about 5.5 miles. You'll need to have a roadworthy bike and be able to cycle safely.

If you aren't sure about whether your bike is safe, Dr Bike mechanics will be offering a free safety check on 4 July between 3pm and 6pm in the station car park.

You can get more information by mailing cycling@centro.org or calling 0121 214 7381

I may even have a go myself....
