First stop is St Giles' Church in Stoke Poges, home to the 'bicycle window' (pictured behind Jack and Denis Hartley, the Verger of the Church). One element of the window dates from 1642 and said to be the earliest ever depiction of a velocipede.

A particularly gruelling race, some say it is Ireland's 'Tour de France' and it is a much cherished tradition, far more so than the Tour of Ireland. John Herety, Directeur Sportif of the Rapha-Condor road racing team and formerly DS of Recycling.co.uk talks about the modern Raacute;s. We also tell the story of possibly the greatest legend of the Raacute;s: 'Iron Man' Mick Murphy, the blood-drinking, fire-eating hard man who won the 1958 race in quite extraordinary circumstances. Peter Woods is a documentary-maker at RTEacute; and tracked down Murphy (pictured above, at his home-made stone gym) and tells the story of one of sport's living legends. Woods's 40 minute documentary is compulsory listening. You can find it on the RTEacute; website. Photo credit: Kieran Murray.

We also discover that Shanaze Reade (pictured left, racing in the team sprint with Victoria Pendleton) has never heard of fixed gear freestyling despite being a world champion cyclist in both BMX and track racing. Someone who is all too familiar with the fixed wheel phenomenon is BikeSnob NYC, who regularly wins gold medals for "systematically and mercilessly disassembling, flushing, greasing, and re-packing the cycling culture". Over a few ales, the BikeSnob offers his reflections on 2008 and his hopes and fears for the coming year.

The first of a two-parter telling the story of Moulton bicycles: the radical reinvention of the bicycle by Dr Alex Moulton that, despite some commercial setbacks along the way, continues to push the boundaries of cutting edge engineering. Moultons have been feted by architects and designers, won races and broken speed records, and are taken to the hearts of their riders, the Moultoneers, many of whom consider them to be the best kept secret on two wheels. Over the next two weeks The Bike Show will trace the history of the Moulton bicycle from its inception in the late 1950s and its sixties heyday, look ahead to its future and try to capture something of the Moulton spirit. Featuring interviews with Dr Alex Moulton, Shaun Moulton, Tony Hadland, Michael Woolf and a cast of Moultoneers. Image, left, shows the young Sheldon Brown on his Moulton Deluxe in 1971.

Remembering Ian Hibell, the world's most accomplished and intrepid long-distance cyclist and adventurer, who was run down and killed on a road in Greece last month, aged 74. He'd been on a 'training ride' which began in Hull (England) in preparation for his next trip to Nepal and Tibet. Nic Henderson talks about his friend and hero. For more about Ian Hibell's life, adventures and bicycles, including some superb photographs, visit Nic's excellent website. From the Tour of Britain we hear the latest news from the Rapha-Condor-Recycling team and a protestor from Climate Camp who has something to say about energy company E-on's sponsorship of this year's Tour. Update: Subsequent to this broadcast, The Economist published a superb obituary of Ian Hibell. To donate to Resonance FM, follow this link.

Featuring Ruth Beale and Karen Breneman, two artists who recently rode together from London to the Institute for the Art and Practice of Dissent at Home in Liverpool in search of cycling's socialist and non-conformist past, present and future. Putting the case for the libertarian right is the leading political blogger and cyclist Guido Fawkes who explains why leading members of the British Conservative Party are so keen to advertise their taste for two wheeled transport.

The closing of one year and start of another is the time where many of us resolve to turn over a new leaf, change our life or otherwise embark on a virtuous but most probably doomed attempt at self-improvement. London cyclist and underground bicycle advocate Amy Cooper joins Jack Thurston in the studio for a look at many and varied two wheeled new year's resolutions. Also in this week's show is a look at the Sustrans Connect2 'rails to trails' project in South Bermondsey with Barry Mason of Southwark Cyclists.

Julian came to competitive cycling after falling in love with the continental tradition of the cyclosportive: mass-participation road races of historic or cultural significance, such as the annual Etape du Tour and the Gran Fondo Campagnolo. We discuss the appeal of cyclosportives, the practical issues of how to rider one and Julian gives his impression of the London-Canterbury 'British Etape' cyclosportive and his all-time Top 5 events.

The Bike Show is officially off air at the moment, but I couldn't resist a podcast-only edition to discuss the Evening Standard's Damscene conversion to the way of the bicycle. For years, London's leading daily newspaper has been in thrall to unreconstructed petrolheads, but this week the paper has come out for cycling with a big front page splash on Monday and a series of double-page features during the rest of the week. 'Buffalo' Bill Chidley, a former London bicycle messenger who runs Moving Target Zine, tells it like it is, from trouble with heavy goods vehicles to running red lights. He is as bewildered as I am about the Standard's volte face, and joins me for a look at the paper's 12 point 'charter' for safer cycling in the capital.

First run in 1891 as a race designed to demonstrate the practicality of the bicycle, Paris Brest Paris has since become a four yearly event that attracts long distance cyclists from around the world. This year is a Paris Brest Paris year and Kieron Yates - this week standing in for Jack Thurston - talks to Richard Phipps of Audax UK acirc;euro;ldquo; the British long distance cycling association acirc;euro;ldquo; about preparing for the ride and what to expect should he make it to Paris. Also on today's show Kieron tries to discover just how it is that we stay upright on our bikes as we pootle off down the road. Physicist, Dr Helen Czerski, provides the answers, describes the 'Einstein flip', and confirms the efficiency of the bicycle. Helen is a member of the NOISE network of scientists.

Women bike messengers might cut a better figure on the roads than their grungy, bearded and tattooed male counterparts, but are the girls better at their jobs than the boys?

London's eight Royal Parks stretch from Greenwich in the east to Richmond in the west and make London one of the greenest big cities in Europe. Between them, the parks' 5500 acres of land are the lungs of the capital. But they have remarkably few paths where cycling is allowed.

Mark welcomes all comments and suggestions from park users, and says he reads all his email personally: mcamley@royalparks.gsi.gov.uk MP3 DOWNLOAD OGG VORBIS DOWNLOAD Environment,,London,,Podcast,,Politics,,Rolling,interview bikeshow@gmail.com no No http://www.archive.org/download/bikeshow_120606/bikeshow_120606.mp3 http://thebikeshow.net/24-april-2006-martin-newell-and-spoke-n-word-in-essex/ http://thebikeshow.net/24-april-2006-martin-newell-and-spoke-n-word-in-essex/#comments Mon, 24 Apr 2006 08:44:00 +0000 bikeshow@resonancefm.com http://thebikeshow.net/?p=62 http://thebikeshow.net/24-april-2006-martin-newell-and-spoke-n-word-in-essex/feed/ 00:01:01 In the last of the current season of the Bike Show, Kieron Yates rides around Essex with poet, musician and horticultural assassin Martin Newell, as ...

The LBMA works for London's 400-500 bicycle messengers (also known as couriers) and has run a prominent campaign to reduce the risks to cyclists posed by Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs). Bill and I visit three of the seven sites where London bicycle messengers have been killed while at work. In the studio are Jesse and Regan from the World Naked Bike Ride. The London ride will be on 11 June 2005, 3pm at Hyde Park Corner. The organisers have received approval from the Metropolitan Police so no arrests will be made for nudity. They hope this will result in an even better turnout than the 60+ of 2004. The idea is to go 'as bare as you dare'.
