Did anyone see 'The History of the Bicycle?'
It was great; the presenter, Rob Penn, assembled a bike at the end from components sourced all over the world, while pointing out key historical markers over the past 150 years or so, and the people he met along the way (original California MTBers, Cinelli factory, Campag etc) couldn't fail to inject the watcher with enthusiasm.
I actually couldn't wait to do my commute the next day!
It might still be on iPlayer if you missed it...
