Probably could've removed the old parking sensors (?) rather than directing cyclists to ride straight into something that will probably have them off their bike...

Apparently the local Big Sainsbos doesn't want your business after 8pm unless you arrive by car. And certainly not if you have a wheelchair or pram or can't manage the stairs from the high street to the car park for whatever reason.

Sorry, you want me to use *extra* energy?

The flags are looking wonderful now they've been exposed to a few weeks of weather...

Bring back these signs...

I could've sworn there was one at the entry to the A38(M) from either the Tyburn Road or Gravelly Hill until fairly recently but historic Street View imagery suggests otherwise.

The people who design car park signage must be familiar with road signs and yet they seem to insist on doing this kind of thing... @showmeasign.online

Wouldn't be surprised if, at some point, a British Rail narrowboat actually existed... @doublearrow64.bsky.social

Heartlands Hospital is an absolute nightmare to get to and just as bad to navigate inside, but I do enjoy the treasure hunt style instructions you can pick up at the main entrance.

Really good idea, actually.

A good morning to be standby - when you can barely see the signal 150 yards away...

Nice ride down to Leam as the sun came up. Not been here for nearly a year - everything still where it was last time 🤪

Getting the 47 to work for a change of scenery. Exciting stuff!

Curious about the one shiny new sign at Whitlocks End that reckons the penalty for trespass is a £2000 fine.

The penalty is actually £1000 but it used to be £200 - as it's a new sign I'm wondering if someone has got their numbers muddled when replacing an out of date sign...

Yeah sure, the pedestrian crossing is a road now - why the hell not? @betterstreetsforbirmingham.org

Let's hope that paving can withstand buses driving over it all day...
