Show 81 - Cycling Can Still Save the World

The Cyclist Pod is back; distanced but never distant!


And we're speaking to Peter Walker; the author of the cycling
book "Cycling can save the world". He also happens to be the
Guardian's political correspondent. Cycling and politics? Does
that mix? Listen and find out.


But now, an apology. This short delay was down to some
noteworthyly major tech hurdles; firstly, Raya was hacked. Like,
held to ransom. Big time. Top social media honchos, the police,
everything. We've never known lockdown drama like it.


Secondly, our show had to be completely recorded after everything
went AWOL. Hacked as well? No. Stephen can't work out how to use
his new remote recording software and now it sounds like he's
drowning. And if he does this again, then that's what'll happen
when Raya next sees him in a pool.


Note: the interview with Peter might be a little weird sounding.
But then if you've not heard Stephen before, then you'll think
that anyway.


Hang on, isn't this a cycling podcast? Of course. So allow
Stephen to introduce the best permanent British Audax/Sportive
circuit. Open 24h, all year round, and it's free. Why isn't
everyone doing it? Also, cue a money saving triathlon. We're full
of ideas.


And there's a Velominati that blows right up in your face. No,
literally.
