Nick replied to Sarah-Jane's discussion Anyone had a bike nicked in Stirchley?
"I rode over that bridge about a month ago. There were teenagers hanging about on the bridge and I could hear but not see more of them down by the river. There were travellers camped on derelict land between the river and Pershore Road which is where…"

Nick commented on LS's event 'Sky Ride'
"Today was my first sky ride, I thought it was great for kids and families but there did seem to be quite a few mamils* treating it like a race. Maybe it's because the Tour de France has started.    Was it bigger than last…"

Nick commented on LS's event 'Forum for Birmingham Cyclists'
"I am not able to attend this meeting but I am interested in the councillors "cycling vision" (or will it be short-sightedness?). Can someone film his presentation and upload it or will it be available in power point format on the council…"

Nick replied to LS's discussion Hill Street
"They were still missing yesterday afternoon. If there are going to be more wide loads temporary barriers should be put in place to protect cyclists from traffic. There seems to be a slow deterioration of cycling infrastructure in Birmingham recently…"

Nick commented on LS's group Commuting
"I can't say I've noticed this as a recent trend but it has happened to me a few times, mostly van drivers. What annoys me more is cars in side roads on the left pushing out 4 or 5 feet over the line trying to force people to stop and let…"

Nick replied to CKS's discussion The ultimate insult?
"I reckon it's number 1. Either it was the person walking away as you arrived or someone else who broke the lock then retreated to make sure the coast was clear. A decent D lock is worth investing in."
Jan 22, 2011
Nick replied to LS's discussion New bike racks at New Street Station
"Oh.My.God! They really do not have a clue do they. Instead of 120 as promised they provide 6 (or is it 5?) spaces that nobody in their right mind would use unless they fancy a buckled wheel or everything but the wheel gone on their…"

Nick replied to LS's discussion New bike racks at New Street Station
"Have you got a photo yet? I was in the city centre yesterday but I forgot to have a look. Or is this just a wind up?"
Dec 12, 2010
Nick replied to LS's discussion bull****
"Please make sure they do not install any more of the stupid wheel buckler stands like the one outside St. Martins church. Why are stands always removed before replacements have been installed e.g. by the library? "
Dec 4, 2010
Nick replied to LS's discussion New bike racks at New Street Station
"How many new stands are there? Are they sheltered? Is this the 120 that have been promised? Did I just see a pig fly past my window?"
Dec 4, 2010
Nick replied to LS's discussion City to unveil transport scheme
"What time is this and can anybody turn up?"
Nov 9, 2010
Nick replied to Dave Cox's discussion Cycling in Birmingham discussion on Radio WM
"As chair of the cycling advisory group I would expect him to know exactly how much money there is for cycling, what it is being spent on and to always be pushing for more. In the radio interview I think it was a mistake for John to say he travelled…"

Nick replied to Nick's discussion Canal closed or open?
"I was stopped at Gas Street Basin yesterday morning and told to go on the road instead which was a bit annoying. They wouldn't give a reason. "
Oct 6, 2010
Nick replied to LS's discussion New Cycling Facilities for New Street Station, are they good enough?
"What happened to the 120 they were supposed to be installing months ago? Now it is 160 after yet another strategy has to be written dragging it out for even longer and avoiding doing anything worthwhile. I won't be holding my breath. "
