Cyclist captures numerous blockages along new Cycle Superhighway in Birmingham

The second city's first dedicated 'Cycling Superhighways' on the A38 and A34 were officially opened by Shanaze Reade and Jason Kenny last week, but some commuters are already complaining of blockages along the route from council bins, joggers and cars parked along it, according to the Birmingham Mail and several cyclists on Twitter.  

Speaking to the Birmingham Mail, PC Mark Hodson of West Midlands Police Road Harm Reduction Team said:  “We will be patrolling the new cycle routes on police bicycles to ensure that the infrastructure is being used in a lawful manner by all road users.

"When we witness any misuse or offences then we will deal with this through our usual combination of education and enforcement.”
