My wife alterted me to this, but I'm not tempted. As she described it to me, it sounds like some wally telling other folk what not to wear when cycling. Or is it meant to be comic?

Perhaps you will like this https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001kh5n
Josie Long presents short documentaries and audio adventures about life on wheels. A woman cyclist rolls solo though the Scottish landscape, a car park becomes a vortex of roller skaters and Jungle music at night, and listening to the rhythms of all that spins.

The cyclist bit is "Postcards

Thanks for posting Simon. I've listened to the first three episodes and found it found it interesting enough. A potted history of UK cycling interspersed with the narrators own lifetime's cycling experience. I'll certainly seek out the last couple of programmes - today and tomorrow, R3 @ 22.45 - part of 'The Essay' series. I'm not sure I've come across that before, 1880 previous episodes on a multitude of subjects available on BBC iplayer !
