I believe there may be a candlelit memorial ride one evening next week, according to today's Birmingham mail.

this was so sad but so damn predictable given the junction. The other real sad thing is the A38 runs parallel to this and an exciting scheme is being held up by legal challenges by NIMBY's with what I think are false claims etc backed by a local tory councillor who thinks only young white males ride bikes.

this is what we are up against I am afraid and how many deaths will it take ?
