Help with parking for the Bull Ring Birmingham

I've not been for a while but last time I was there I parked in an underground car park, but can't for the life of me remember what road it was on (think I just found it by accident last time).

Question on fuel efficiency
Hiya I'm trying to work out if it is more fuel efficient to do a journey which takes around 50 minutes using local A roads covering 17 miles, or to take the M25 which takes the same amount of time but covers well over 30 miles. My guess is that as the engine is running for 50 minutes either way and the journey via A roads…

Cycle to Work Scheme...
Are the any cons about the C2W scheme? I'm looking at signing up myself (luckily not tied to Halfrauds) On my wage, buying a bike plus accessories for £499.99 will cost me £283.32 in salary payments, plus a final payment of £89.99 meaning a total of £373.32. Does this sound correct for a normal rate tax payer?
