You need to check out Oxford and such, its owned by bikes.
Im surprised too at the lack of cycling in Brum, the size is perfect, not too hilly.
I suppose the scenery on the way to the city centre aint great, and its hard to avoid triple carriage ways with clueless/reckless drivers that think bikes are for kids on the pavement.
Whenever I do see anyone on a bike doing proper commuting, im always shocked at how appaling there bike is. Usually a sterlinghouse full suspension with flat tyres. Its hardly surprising cycling seem so innefficent to the Brummie masses, as all the cycling culture has died and no-one has the logic to see what would be a suitable bike.
