No Bike Week

As some on the forum know, I present The Bike Show, a weekly radio programme that celebrates the transcendental pleasure of cycling, on Resonance FM, London's experimental art radio station.

I'm planning on holding a "No Bike Week". This will involve people who are regular cycists agreeing not to ride for one entire week. They will need to take notes, observe any withdrawal effects, record how their day-to-day life changed as a consequence - both for good or ill. We'll then all get together and review what happened in a feature on the show. I think the results will be very interesting.

Probably will take place sometime in the Spring. I realise it has an obvious Lenten connotation, and Shrove Tuesday is upon us, but that's by the by.

Anyway, anyone who wants to take part, let me know.... And if you think it's a dumb idea, flame away. For more on the show go here.

You'll be covering the extra travel costs of course?

I'll cover the extra costs of walking... (In case you didn't know, Resonance is a volunteer run station, nobody gets a penny - probably explains some of its 'experimental' qualities).

Sorry, don't work for free. (Well, almost, I'm a courier).

will, from what I've heard, you've been on the radio plenty these past months. i'm sure nobody will mind if you stand aside and give others the chance. ;-)

and of course, 'no bike week' for a courier would be more than challenging.

I'll cover the extra costs of walking...

I average about 2mpp (miles per pint) walking, pint around the same price as a gallon of petrol. I need to do about 15miles every day.
A week without a bike may be rather costly.

Fucking stupid idea.

Experimental art is (arguably) self congratulatory nonsense. Transcendence a muddying of understandable pleasure for the very sake of keeping it 'mysterious'.

It says much that the most one can extract from an 'experimental art station' - 'that celebrates the transcendental pleasure of cycling' is to ask people to stop cycling for a week.

Jesus fucking Christ when do we get to move on from this epistemologically unsound horseshit. How about a week of charity events for an agreed cause ? C'mon ! Surely that's better than your wanky pseudo-spiritual time wasting ?

Where the fuck is that can of larger I dropped ?

I think a week without drinking will be more challenging for some.

riding sober for a week sounds more interesting.

I think a week without drinking will be more challenging for some.

Or a week without cycling while drunk listening to experimental art radio stations.

Fucking stupid idea.

Wah, quite a flame. I take it you've not listened to the show then?

Let's kill something

will, from what I've heard, you've been on the radio plenty these past months. i'm sure nobody will mind if you stand aside and give others the chance. ;-)

I'll give it a go if everyone will chip in and buy me a pony to ride instead. We could spray paint a big logo on the side.

Wah, quite a flame. I take it you've not listened to the show then?

Yes, wah.

Or a week without cycling while drunk listening to experimental art radio stations.

Tynan only listens to the voices in his head.

Yes, wah.

Not all of them.

Not all of them.

who said that?

I want a transcendental experimental art pony

I think the Arts Council could be convinced.

yes meaning yes or yes meaning no?

Yes always means yes in those divorced from the transcendental experimental art broadcast scene.
