I’m fed up with being bullied by motorists on the roads of Brum, whether I’m walking or on 2 wheels. I’ve been cycling on roads since the 1970s, but now, virtually every day, I feel like giving up and buying a tank sized tin can, just so that I can safely get from A to B.

The one positive to come out of this awful incident is that the section of dual carriageway where it took place has had its speed limit reduced from 40 to 30mph.
This has taken place largely as a result of campaigning & hard graft by @betterstreetsforbirmingham.org ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿

24 hour bus lanes should be standard; there’s no point in increasing road capacity outside of the busy times a bus lane is needed. You might as well make them active all the time by default, then there’s no confusion. If it’s to allow parking - tough. There should be no parking on a bus corridor.
