Your comments: 100 miles of road closurespublished at 15:26 British Summer Time 25 September 2017
There's been a mix of comments on the BBC Midlands Facebook page about Velo Birmingham.
The 100 miles of road closures across the West Midlands angered some people who struggled to travel, but many said the event was a resounding success. Here's what you've been saying., external
Claire Taylor, external: It's been fab for our city! We should be grateful we got the chance to hold the event. Yes there was inconvenience with road closures but it's one day out of 365 & we had plenty of notice to plan.
Mustak Choudhury writes:, external Why do people have to complain about the Velo? They have been warned about it. It's only Sunday. Chill.
Donald Skoyles adds:, external One day of road closures and everyone loses their minds. Yorkshire had the Tour de France leg, London gets loads of events causing road closures, Manchester gets the North Run and when Birmingham gets remembered by big event organisers, what do we do - complain, moan and whinge.
Andy Carr-smith had to change his plans:, external So many comments of "it's one day out of the year" - My friends and I had to wake up earlier than normal so our event, booked last year by the way, could still go ahead. Fortunately for us people were willing to come earlier.
Steve Carey adds:, external Some road diversions would have been useful rather than just closing roads!
