Just heard 6Music are running a show presented by these two on the 26th at 1 p.m. Bradley's having a good year.

Stumbled across this last night and can't see it on here. Worth a listen.

Rob Hayles and Victoria Pendleton are the guests on this episode of 5 live's dedicated cycling show, BeSpoke. With Colin Murray they preview the Giro d'Italia, talk to Spandau Ballet's Gary Kemp and hear the regular features; OK Commuter and Chopper Challenge.

*edit - it was, now on listen again http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01sm7hv

I listened to the first of this years Reith Lectures from Grayson Perry this morning, "Democracy has bad taste". He is a really engaging and an articulate speaker adeptly putting the knife into large parts of the art establishment; he is also very funny. I'd definitely recommended listening to it. Hopefully the other lectures should be good too.

Parts if it also reminded me of regular debates in this community regarding what constitutes bike porn and who should be the arbiters of good (bike) taste.

Book reading, Radio 4, 93.5FM on NOW

Mallorca and Middle-Aged Men in Lycra

That was sort of rubbish, but i quite enjoyed it nonetheless.

Radio 6 (and maybe all BBC radio, not sure), are doing a week celebrating cycling and will be up in Yorkshire at the end of the week for the tour for the breakfast shows.

I quite like Shaun Keaveney so let's hope he doesn't do something to jeopardise his privileged place in my 'popular radio presenters that are acceptable' rankings by saying / doing something retarded.

Track cyclist and bank robber, interesting radio piece from Love + Radio

http://loveandradio.org/2014/08/choir-boy/

^ Wow - aside from the subjects, those pieces have amazing music choices.

Hey are you talking about the Love + Radio podcast? Affiliated podcast, 99% Invisible has really interesting music underneath too and is definitely worth checking out.

In a bit of a cross-post with the Viccy Pendleton appreciation thread, there was a show hosted by the lady herself with Wiggo guesting, discussing the mental work behind being a cyclist.

Not listened yet myself, but heard Pendleton chatting about the series in general on R5 a while back. Should be interesting.

Watching Bitter Lake right now, incredible, depressing and near farcical.
