This endemic criminal behaviour is a major reason why cycling rates in #Birmingham are pitifully low.
Itโs a blight on the city and it makes everyoneโs life worse.

We cycled in 37 countries across Europe last year.
Nowhere is perfect, of course, but Iโm not sure we encountered anywhere worse than our home-town of #Birmingham in terms of routine, casual violence and lawbreaking by drivers.
So sad.
So dangerous.

2 bike trips into Birmingham this week.
Wednesday: driver shouts (entirely unprovoked) 'get off the **** road or I'll run you over'.
Today: driver veers to left, misses squishing me by inches. Guess what? He's looking at his phone.
