Show 75 - Cycling; the Perfect Holiday (and intro to cycling)

* Recorded pre-Pandemic *

Stephen and Raya are both in podcasting towers, possibly for the
last time in a long time!


Thankfully they are both in good form, and the banterbus is
making regular visits to eachother's weak spots. Raya DNFing Ride
London? Check. Stephen panting like a hot elderly dog trying to
jump onto a kitchen worktop? Check.


But they're getting misty-eyed and whimsical today, because in
show 75, the roots of your love of cycling are delved into. And
why your childhood passion for the bicycle might determine your
approach to two-wheeled frolics for the rest of your adult life.


And that then spills into cycling holidays; how they are
responsible for so many people rediscovering two wheels and their
long-forgotten love of bikes. Andy at Flexitreks has been
rekindling those flames for decades, and we talk to him about the
difficulties and pleasures of being a cycling-specific travel
agent.


And of course there's the Velominati, some unnecessarily loud
laughter, and a simpering homage to our show sponsor dhb. Love
you guys, etc etc.
