Wythall to Birmingham City Centre

I commute into the Children's Hospital every week day. I would like to get off the main roads, but i don't think there is much of an alternative - any advice? I get on the Pershore Road at Lifford Lane on the way in, but go through Kings Heath going home.

If you haven't tried these things, you should.
These things are fun, and fun is good.
Thanks for the advice. As a result, i got on the canal one night last week at Loveday Street in the town centre and got off at Lifford Lane. The terrain was a bit too rough for my tyres (700 x 23c) on my Giant FCR 1. However, the route was very pleasant. I particularly enjoyed seeing the old Snow Hill Station tunnels. I wouldn't do the journey again on my current bike but certainly would on a mountain bike.
Thanks again
Will
