Radio 4 - On Your Bike

[kishin]

Just as a heads up if anyone's interested, there's a ten part series on the history of the bicycle beginning on Radio at 3.45pm next Monday.

Good call. I'll look forward to that!

Cheers

Hope it'll be on iplayer

I've never heard of Martin Ellis but I hope he's done his research properly and doesn't just trot out the same old myths about MacMillan, Dunlop and so on.

I am sure you will point out the errors using this forum, I do love a good academic debate.

If lots of people join the discussion it could turn into a Mass Debate!

Only if someone starts discussing bright pink full carbon road bikes

New (to me) comedy on R4 Mondays 11.30am - Brian Gullivers Travels http://www.bbc.co.uk...ravels_Juradia/

"the weird thing is that everone here is equipped with indicator lights, brake lights and a helmet....I was the only one not following the pedestrian code..."

 

[Curb]

Sorry folks, but it was broadcast on Feb 7th. (not March 7th http://www.bbc.co.uk...rammes/b00yqg3z)

There were 10 Episodes, 15 Miunutes each, I caught a few on iPlayer, not bad.

Not available anymore though.

(But you can catch the last episode (or 2 if your quick) of 'Britain by Bike - Clare Balding embarks on a pedal-powered odyssey across Britain to rediscover the magical world of 1950s cycling')

I have all 10 saved to mp3 if you're desperate to hear it.

I've got Clare Balding's series as mp4 too.

What do you mean "get a life"....?

Hello Tim - you may be able to help me! My partner is doing an education session at the Museum of London on the history of the bicycle next weekend and has just discovered this programme. However, she is specifically covering the period in the first 3 shows in this series and, of course, they've gone off iplayer. She's desperate to hear them and I wondered if I'd be able to get the mp3s of them from you? We would be so grateful!
What would be the best way to get them from you? I'm new here and don't know if it's possible to contact memebers 'privately'!
Many many thanks in advance...
Ewen

Hi Ewen. Private contacting is done by starting a conversation, but I think new members have to get a minimum number of posts first. Click on your own name, top right of the screen and select Start a Conversation. Like I've just done. I expect there's a smoother way of doing it too, but that's what I use.

As bad luck would have it, the series is in mid rerun on BBC4extra but only 4 - 6 are currently available, with 7 - 9 being broadcast next week. I don't know whether you've just missed the first 3. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00yfq82/episodes/guide

I was hoping there would have been a second series of Clare Balding's Britain By Bike... or had all of Harold Briercliffe's routes been covered in one series?
