Furious cyclists are concerned for their safety after a council blunder has blocked a major cycle route.

Locals say it's only a matter of time before a major accident occurs where a barrier forces bikes onto a main road.

The dangerous lane, in Birmingham, West Midlands, is just metres in front of a blind bend and busy roundabout on a 40mph road.

The metal barrier, on Chester Road in Erdington, is next to a pedestrian crossing, but there are no alternative routes for cyclists.

Michael Scott, 32, said it's 'very dangerous' and provisions should be made for cyclists.

He said: "You come off a busy roundabout and it's pretty much a blind corner and then the cycle lane just stops about 20 feet up.

"It's very dangerous, and it looks like it's only recently been placed there."
