A woman handed me a leaflet in the street yesterday about a meeting with Birmingham City Council this Thursday at 7:00pm about how to make cycling in Birmingham safer. I won't actually be going myself because I'm busy that day (and lazy) but for anyone who's interested more details here: http://www.pushbikes.org.uk/

I know one way the council could make cycling safer... when one of their employees crashes their car into the automated bollards outside the Council House leaving a massive oil slick they should clean it up straight away rather than waiting for me to slip on it and break my wrist... yes, I'm still bitter.

i don't know whether it's WITH the council? Sounds like it's just cyclists from what I read. Dunno whether I can go either but I emailed them a rant about the contraflow cycle lane on hill st/hurst st.

these meeting are usually rubbish and do not lead to anything. If you want to go and shout about something I would be up for coming and backing you up.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
