"Circle the City" Group Ride First Friday every month

Post by AdeR » 07 May 2025 09:20

Organisers have been in touch.

First Friday every month - meet at Victoria Square, City Centre Birmingham, 6PM

Have fun and demonstrate demand for safe cycling. All ages and riding potential welcome.

Please note this is not a 'critical mass' style ride the organisers are prioritising inclusion and safety, which they feel a led ride on a pre-set route does best. They have kept the route to just under 10km for the same reason. They also wanted a route that uses some of Birmingham's cycling infrastructure, such as it is.

I'll be up the track at Halesowen myself or down at the Ackers for the first two but if anyone fancies it it would be a great opportunity to show off the coolest cycling jersey in the West Midlands! 8)
