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?

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 !
