Some ideas for items each week to make up 6 x 30 min episodes - shown off peak Sat or Sun AM ?
Riding a popular Offroad Family Route - canals, woods, old railways etc
Riding London Superhighways - a different timed run each week
Cycling Holidays/Touring/Expedition stuff ie -
Cycling in the Netherlands, France, Denmark, Ireland, Germany etc
News - Sustrans News/British Waterway News/CTC News - routes open/closed/diverted etc
Sport - Track Reports/Road Race Reports/MTB Race Reports/BMX Race Reports etc
Bike Tests - 3 bikes reviewed together each week (like the gadget show but better) -
Road Bike, Racing Bike, Recumbent, Trike, MTB, Tandem, Folder, BMX
A vintage slot for Roger
Beginers section each week - choosing and riding first bike, also clothing, locks, lights, road safety advice, lorry blindspots etc
Not sure how to avoid geeky presentations though, but this is where the hip presenters come in...
Not much scope for jokes or banter there. Top gear is largely about comedy and action, with the cars as a central theme. That list sound like a cycling magazine put on the TV, with no scope for the epic challenges or competitions. Just showing a family cycling route and people riding a bike for the first time, too serious!
