Episode description

Five Bicycle-Shaped Musings from writer, raconteur and life-long cyclist Andrew Martin

Today how socialism and cycling conjoined. A traditionally working-class transport mode is counterpointed with the idea of the cyclist as supreme individualist, riding on pavements and ignoring red lights. Cycling clubs today focus on environmentalism and sociability rather than socialism, but their slogan is still ‘Fellowship is Life.’

Written and read by Andrew Martin Produced by Karen Holden
