Listening to this atm. Fascinating. Jeweller and silversmith turned bike builder.

Her bikes.

Me too. But listening to Women's Hour is, I'd suggest, no more or less than what many people would expect from me given my posting record here. You, on the other hand? I think this is another of those occasions when you let your carefully cultivated right-wing laddish mask slip...

All in all, sounds intense "Beta women, Vaginal seeding, Bikesmith, Mum break-up, Upskirting"

I'm having a listen now. Already relieved that vaginal seeding isn't a cosmetic surgery.

I'll have to find this on iplayer. I've met Caren a number of times at the Bespoked Bike show in Bristol, and she's very talented. Her attention to detail from her jewellery background can definitely be noted in the design of the bikes she builds.

I listen to woman's hour because I like the great waves of anger that build within me when I'm listening to the peace vegetarians talk about how it's the fault of men that the Sun comes up in the morning

Could someone please say what point Caren comes in on this program? I have no interest in any of the other topics. Thanks!

I went to a bike show last year and saw one of her bikes hanging on the wall. A dark blue beauty, lovely bike.

The bikes do look very classy in a retro sort of way.
