    Down in birmingham next week and as I’m letting the train take the strain I thought I’d take my bike down. Is cycling from the NEC to the city centre doable route wise?

    I do 10 miles each way to work, so hopefully the distance is similar…

    The Grand Union canal goes quite close. Coventry Road is very busy. Bordesley Green East might be worth trying but i’m not sure where access to NEC is near Marston Green. See http://birminghamcyclist.ning.com/group/commuting (scroll down)
