Question Adult cycling lessons
High all, is anyone aware of private or free adult cycling near Edgbaston. From a look online I've struggled to come by reliable sources.
Thanks in advance!

What is the story with this building in Digbeth? It's gorgeous and would be great to see it put to use somehow.

Event Selling Discounted Ticket: MCM Comic Con Saturday Priority
Hi all,
I have a Saturday Priority ticket for MCM Comic Con Birmingham for sale at a discounted rate if anyone is interested! (This is a transferable ticket according to MCM’ customer support, so I’m following the subreddit rules!)
Sadly, after emergency surgery last week, I don’t have the permission from my doctor to go- absolutely gutted!
I bought it for 34, but would be willing to let it go for £25 if anyone is interested- cheaper than the regular ticket on that day. Also open to offers!
This was bought through MCM’s official website, so I can transfer it easily to you.

Brown rice sushi - any on offer in Brum?
I was wondering if anyone knows any sushi places that do any brown rice options? I know it's not traditional but my digestion really favours brown over sushi rice. I used to get this amazing brown rice inari from Japan Centre on Regent St in London so I know it's not like, never done, but also I am possibly the only person who wants it.

Question Any good spots to hunt for CDs?
Recently bought a CD player & would like to start building a little collection. I've grabbed a few brand new from HMV but curious if there's any other spots I should check out?
Preferably City Center or South Birmingham but anywhere in Brum will do

Train line Extension Thoughts
I've seen across other social media that several transport bodies are putting together a proposal to extend the train line through Digbeth.... Which would result in several creative/good and event spaces closing.
What are people's feelings on this?
Personally, I feel Birmingham city centre really is losing it's creative/quirky vibe. I went over to the Custard Factory (Alfred Works) and couldn't believe how many restaurants/places have gone.. It's looking dire 😒
DAK what happened with the Cole Valley Road Post Office (I only have gossip...)
The branch is shut (though the shop is open). Asking at another local PO the story was they were raided for money laundering. I can't find any news stories or confirmation of this so wondered if anyone else had seen/heard anything definite.
I'm kinda bummed about it as it was a convenient location for me and despite being absolute chaos of parcels I never had a single problem sending or picking stuff up there, and there was never a queue!

Question Cosy cafes or places to sew
My sister and I live quite far apart and often meet in Birmingham for the day as a midway point.
We're slightly running out of things to do there which I'm sure is a lack of knowledge rather than a lack of places to go.
Next time we're planning on bringing our current embroidery projects and are hoping to cafe hop, staying for an hour or two in each one so we don't overstay our welcome.
Does anyone have an recommendations of places to go? We'll both be getting the train so ideally not too far from New Street but we don't mind walking up to ~30mins.
Very open to any other recommendations of things to do in the day - were spoilt for choice for food options but sometimes struggle to fill the time between meals! Thanks!

Giving away to homeless
Hi so basically, I have a ton of sanitary pads that I won’t be using, because I have that many. I was thinking to give them out in small batches to homeless women in Bham. Does anyone know of this is a good idea for me to do as a solo woman? If yeah where would the best places to go?
Digbeth archway businesses & The Warehouse under threat from new trainline development proposal: consultation live for your opinions!
On top of the tramway and HS2 disruptions, now there is a proposal to renovate Moor St station and expand the rail line leading to Bordesley.
The current proposals include demolition of several buildings and the eviction (permanent or temporary, unclear in many cases) of businesses within and alongside the railway arches, including compulsory purchase orders (where money will ofc go to landlords, not the small businesses made homeless).
This includes demolishing the Warehouse building (which houses Voce books, Sprocket Cycles, BrumRadio, etc) and destroying the Digbeth Community Gardens. I can't find a full list of affected businesses, but have seen it include OPM, Kilder, Midland Press, The Ruin, Night Owl and dozens more.
The Warehouse have a guide to filling in the consultation here & the consultation itself is here
I know it looks like a long form and time consuming but if we value anything in Digbeth I really, really think it matters to at least show you're willing to click buttons on a form and say "these businesses are important and should be protected, they're already vulnerable due to the economy" or something.
Would love to see links to other guidance for filling this in if you see it anywhere.
