Bike articles on radio / TV

I've also read that book and I also don't know what time the doc is being broadcast. I have nothing more to add.

Well, Ihe cargo bike it'self is tough, but since I totally wrecked my knee on it I've only been riding about half the day, and counting tyres the other half. Could be worse, but I'm still pretty worn down all the time.

Sounds painful, Nhatt--get better soon! Why did you take to cargo biking instead of, erm, upright wedgie couriering, if I may ask?

a decent daily wage and something different to do. After a few years of normal couriering I thought, what the heck. I know it's not so long, but I get bored easily.

But I didn't think I would be doing data entra when I signed up for the job, nor did I think I would be fixing my mistakes on my own time.

Harumph.

you know your destiny lies in sewing Nhatt...;)

Well, as long as my destiny doesn't lie in excel, I'm a happy camper.

Who's ever heard of hiring a courier based on their street knowlege and then getting pissy when they don't know how to use a computer?

(can you tell i'm fuming?)

I can :(
have a cuppa and decide when you're gonna come and cut out some bags. :)

some guy came in to my shop ( a bike shop in london bridge) from the FT today asking about bicycle trends for 2009 and the whole fix gear/ singlespeed culture.

So there should be an article on bike trends '09 soonish in the FT..

Can't wait for that one...

How's about next saturday?

I"m testing this saturday (life in the UK test), but i'll be alot less stressed out next week.

Actually, do you have a radio? I could come by friday, the radio show will be on in the AM and i'm free till the kingspin.

Anytime is fine by me. I don't have a radio though but can you get the station on the net?

You're only being kept in the sweatshop cos you're not as easy on the eyes as this young dude.

So there am I munching my muesli and listening to the doom and gloom on Radio 4's Today Programme, as the IMF tell us that we are screwed and the future looks bleak when all of a sudden, up pop the chirpy tones of WiganWill announcing that he is The Barometer of the Economy.

Pray tell us, O Sage of Stokie, what does the economic future hold for us?
