Velo Midlands

It certainly makes a nice change to know that there won’t be any motorised traffic to contend with.

Never under-estimate the determination and self-entitlement of some car drivers. Lots of instances of cars being encountered on supposedly 'closed road' events. In that sense, you could even argue that closed roads could make it more dangerous, not less.

For those who didn't see it...

Why did no one swipe the keys out of the ignition of her car?

I did the first Velo Birmingham Midlands.

That was enough to put me right off. We had some idiots pouring a couple of hundred litres of oil all over the road, and spreading nails all over the place. To be fair, the organisers dealt with it very well, but it still shows what disregard the muppets who were responsible for the sabotage have for human lives.

Well that was a waste of £80.
