Welcome to Bike Routes of Brum! A channel dedicated to showing safe cycle routes around Birmingham and the West Midlands – inspired by @Londoncycleroutes
In this video, we are cycling from Shirley High Street to Solihull High Street. The route heads between the two via the new Blossomfield Road Cycle Lane and Tuudor Grange Park. It should take about 10 minutes to cycle between the two areas and, if you factor in parking on both ends, is probably the fastest way to get between the two areas.

Would be interesting for you to try out the new cycle lanes in coventry, especially the newly built Binley cycleway which has caused a big row between residents and the council. I personally think the cycle lane creates more conflict with drivers than for the cyclist to simply just use the road.
That Blossomfield Rd cycleway looks pretty useful, the dismount at the crossing is a real oversight though! noticed a theme in a couple of your other videos where they just sort of route you onto a pedestrian crossing without doing a toucan or anything. I guess most people will just keep cycling over it which isnt ideal for anyone!
