Not only have we added our second UK city to the site, but we've decided to make all of Birmingham's content FREE!! This continues our pattern of providing at least one city in a country (e.g., San Diego, Toronto) on a complimentary basis so potential subscribers can get a good idea of the type of content AthleticMindedTraveler.com provides.
We identify fitness focused hotels like the Malmaison Birmingham and Hotel du Vin, fantastic Birmingham health clubs like Bannatyne's, convenient run routes such as the Birmingham Canal Paths, healthy restaurants like Around the World in 80 Dishes and even unique athletic-minded activities such as the Tamworth Snowdome.
Below is a paragraph from Birmingham's introduction. We were certainly surprised by the city's musical significance:
Birmingham's canals are unique and its manufacturing history interesting, however, we find the city's propensity for churning out famous music bands and artists fascinating. Possibly befitting its manufacturing heritage, Birmingham is credited with introducing "heavy metal" music to the rest of the world. Most of Led Zeppelin's members started here along with other celebrated groups such as Black Sabbath (whose lead singer was none other than Ozzy Osborne), and Judas Priest. But musically-inclined Brummies are not ONLY known for heavy drum beats and electric guitar riffs. Duran Duran's New Wave, UB40's Reggae (incidentally, UB40 stands for Unemployment Benefit Form 40), and Steve Winwood's Blues-Rock, all burst forth from Birmingham's womb.
