I've been offered a new job in Coventry, I want to move to a nice area where my bike will be safe!! Anyone know Coventry or east, south or north of it?                                                                                                                                                                              

Ha ha  Coming to the 'Cov'   !!!   You'll be able to bike to Bassetts Pole of a Tuesday then....no excuses  Only about 30 mins at a push.    I'm told Earlsdon is a good area of Cov.   Allesley,  Eastern green,  Styvechale    Radford.  These are from the Cov boys on shift.   If you can let me know where your thinking of, I can get some some 1st hand info.    Course you always have warwick and it's surrounds also.                                                                                                                                                                               

You could contact   drobess on BM she lives in cov so may also have some helpfull info for you
                                                                                                                                                                             

Styvchale was a good area, not sure about it now. Forget radford and definitely steer clear of cheylesmore.                                                                                                                                                                              

Longford and foleshill along with bell green should be avoided as well.
Ryton isnt bad neither is wyken but that is a bit close to ball hill, not bad but not brilliant.Hill fields is a definite no go area, unless you want hookers walking up and down the road at all hours.

Kev how do you know where all the Hookers are ???                                                                                                                                                                               

all advice given already is gud advice tab007, other than wyken n Ballhill are ok as well, im in ballhill.
oh avoid Woodend also                                                                                                                                                                             

I was born about 7 mile away from cov, I know that area just as you know where the naughty laydeez are in brum!                                                                                                                                                                             

It has been a long time since I used to go to cov so ballhill might have smartened up since, my appologies.I also meant that wyken was a good area, or it did used to be.                                                                                                                                                                             

they on the street corners of hillfields 66 lol, Ive driven past them on route home from town                                                                                                                                                                             

Indeed drob, hillfields was always a dodgy place at night.                                                                                                                                                                             

TAB007, i dont know Coventry at all but just wanted to say;

WOOHOO! way to go burd. Many congratulations on the
new job!

Im gonna miss ya n your pink bike gear ... :(

Thats two of you leaving The Yorkshire Crew for pastures new, sad in so many ways. Im sure you will get settled n quickly find happiness wherever you land x                                                                                                                                                                             

Hey, you don't get rid of me that easily, you have another overnight stopping place now in Coventry lol                                                                                                                                                                              

I've decided before I move to Coventry permanently I'd like to do the job and get to know the area so I can make an informed decision, so I'm looking to rent a room - if there is anyone who wants a lodger, please letme know? Thanks.                                                                                                                                                                              

besides TAB cov isnt that far from me so i'm sure Linz will still haunt you once she realises its a nice ride cross country                                                                                                                                                                             

I'm near Hinckley not far from Coventry. I wouldn't live in the City get yourself out in the villages and have a look round. Which area of the city will you be working?                                                                                                                                                                             

The post code is CV2, so it's south east                                                                                                                                                                              

Try bedworth just down the road                                                                                                                                                                              

Also have a look at Ansty, Shilton, Wolvey and Bulkington. This area is about 10 miles from me and I have worked and had friends there. I now work near Leicester. If you need some biking gear Moto Central are in Wolvey check them out online.
