I tend to go for the sciency stuff:
The Infinite Monkey Cage (light hearted)
In Our Time (learned - pick the topics that interest you)
More or Less (statistics, esp picking apart dubious statistics in the news)
Plenty of other science ones - try an internet search or the BBC website.
I listen to them while gardening and jogging as well as occasionally on long bike rides.
You can also get free 'talking books' from Librivox - although only for books that are out of copyright, and the quality of the readers can be variable! But you might need to clean a lot of bikes to get through a whole book!

Preferably, but also anything light hearted.
Many thanks.

The Beeb have a massive archive of desert island discs. There must be at least one there you'll like!

The cycling podcast, ( telegraph cycling podcast on iTunes)
The spokesmen round table cycling podcast
The bike shop show. intermittent but large archive with all sorts of mechanical things covered in great detail. On older shows need to listen to/fast forward local cyclocross stuff.

Don't know about cycling but another vote here for Desert Island Discs, and Clare Balding's Rambling series.
