Excellent podcast about cycling from a unique perspective.
Pedro
May 14, 2019
Quality podcast on the joys of everyday cycling. Slightly idiosyncratic, but all the better for it. Great background tunes to boot.
Description
Podcast devoted to the art, science, politics and transcendental pleasure of cycling, in London and beyond. Presented by Jack Thurston the show has been running since 2004, initially as a radio show on Resonance FM. It covers the intersections of cycling, culture, society and creativity from a variety of perspectives. From Tour de France to roller-racing, from Brompton commuters to bicycle messengers, from Kraftwerk to hip hop, from urban design to countryside trips. Literature, history, travel, art, music and sport.
