The Bike Show
I've listened to all the past episodes at
URL:http://www.unstablesound.net/bike.html, it's a good show. Anyway, I received this today: Dear Friend of the Bike Show, Thank you for listening to, contributing to or otherwise supporting Resonance FM's Bike Show - the UK's only radio show devoted to the miracle of the bicycle and transcendental pleasures of cycling. ONE YEAR OF THE BIKE SHOW! Over the past 12 months we have broadcast more than 12 hours of radio including: * Interviews-on-two-wheels with Rose Ades (Transport for London), Jeremy Deller (artist, cyclist and 2004 Turner Prize winner), Mark Ellen (editor of Word Magazine), Nicky Hamlyn (writer and filmmaker), Bill Chidley (Chair of London Bicycle Messengers Association), Rosie Walford (psychologist), Ben Bowskill (Cycle Training UK) and Graeme Geddes (London Velodrome Trust). * Guests in the studio included Barry Mason (Southwark Cyclists), Simon Brammer (London Cycling Campaign), David Ferry (photomontage artist), Dusty Limits (cabaret star), Paul Wilson (cycle touring gourmand), William Greswell (super-pundit), Guy Andrews (author of the Rough Guide to Cycling in London), Navindh Baburam (pro-cycling GLA candidate and one-time rickshaw rider), Simon Mottram (Rapha), Tom Kevill-Davies (aka The Hungry Cyclist), Tim and Tabitha (G8 Bike Protest Ride), Regan and Jesse (World Naked Bike Ride). * On-location recordings at Critical Mass, the Dunwich Dynamo, the 2005 Paris-Roubaix Classic, Bike Fest in the Square 2005, the Tate Modern and Bar Italia. Features on the Tour de France, cycle safety, the Giro D'Italia, road planning, bicycle poetry, Kraftwerk, a bicycle powered sound system, bicycle messengers, bicycle commuting, Herne Hill Velodrome, Critical Mass, Ditchling Beacon, the G8 Protest Bike Ride, bicycle film-making, bicycle bell testing, the World Naked Bike Rides and more. A NEW SEASON – A NEW TIMESLOT The Bike Show is now a year old and we will be coming back for a new season of shows starting on Monday 18th July at a new, improved time of 6.30-7pm. Future shows will cover a whole lot of new subjects including: * the ancient British passion for time trialing * the 2005 Tour de France * the 2005 Dunwich Dynamo * Albert Hoffman, LSD and the bicycle * Alfred Jarry (pataphysician, writer, cyclist) * London's cycling emergency services (paramedics, police) * the continuing saga over the London Velodrome at Herne Hill * The Rider by Tim Krabbe * The progress of Tom 'The Hungry Cyclist' Kevill-Davies as he rides and eats his way around the Americas * Cycling-inspired classical and experimental music * Bicycle film-making (and the London Bicycle Film Festival) * Bike culture in the San Francisco Bay Area * Cycle security and the criminal mind * Sustrans's network of cycle routes all around the UK, and genteel cycle touring in the Edwardian manner ...and much more INTERNET RADIO and PODCAST Most of the previous bike shows are now available for listening online, either as downloadable MP3 'podcasts' or as streaming Real Audio. They can be found at the Bike Show archive www.unstablesound.net/bike.html or via any podcast software. Now that iTunes 4.9 has a podcast facility, it is even easier. There is also a bike show blog at www.bikeshow.blogspot.com. So far the Bike Show has listeners in 24 countries! Of course you can always listen to the show life on FM at 104.4fm in Central London (4 mile radius from London Bridge) or on streaming live web radio, from www.resonancefm.com BECOME A BIKE SHOW PROGRAMME-MAKER The intention of the Bike Show is to offer an open space for anyone who wants to make radio that is in some way – any way! - related to cycling. So if you fancy becoming involved in programme-making, please get in touch. Really, very few skills required...everything can be learned as you go. In order to cover some of the costs of production, provide help to new programme-makers and further publicise the Bike Show, I applied for a small grant under Transport for London's 'Good Going' Cycling Community Development Grants. The objective of the grants is to promote cycle use in London, by investing in community-led cycling-related activities. Unfortunately we were rejected for the grant, and I was told by TfL's administrator Adrian Bell that the grant panel didn't think that a radio show about cycling would encourage more cycle use 'because only cyclists would listen to it'. In spite of such myopic thinking from the public officials who are supposed to be supporting cycling in London (now we know who is responsible for all those dead-end bike lanes!), the Bike Show will continue to broadcast, albeit in a more stop-start way than if we had received some financial backing. Without financial support, the need for volunteers to help with the show is even greater. For any queries, comments or if you want to get involved, I can be reached by [address snipped, you can find it on the website] or by mobile phone +44 (0) 7973 155 278. 'Bon route!' et 'Chapeau!' à tous mes bons rouleurs et très chers amis, Jack Jack Thurston The Bike Show Resonance 104.4fm Mondays 6.30pm-7pm www.resonancefm.com www.unstablesound.net/bike.html www.bikeshow.blogspot.com 'Less a radio station than a living art installation' - Harpers & Queen "The Bike Show show is absolutely perfect for the diverse community of people cycling in London. A show for cyclists, made by cyclists - truly unique." - Ben Bowskill, Cycle Training UK "a wonderful job of bringing the images of cycling out of the radio, with the help of some excellent music and the sounds of cycling...interviews are friendly and informative... it's quirky and totally addictive." - Guy Andrews, Editor, Road Cycling UK and author of the Rough Guide to Cycling in London. 'Resonance FM is the best radio station in London' - The Guardian 'A loosely structured laboratory for artists of all kinds to reimagine what radio can be' - Artforum "The Bike Show is already an important new voice for London cycling." - Bill Chidley, London Bicycle Messengers Association "I just wanted to say what a delight it has been to discover and listen to the bike show. I have enjoyed the eclectic mix of topics covered in the programmes. I wouldn't have dreamt of cycling along Oxford street butt naked if it hadn't been for a feature on your May 16th show. I did just that last weekend and found the whole experience surreal and mind-altering/opening – better than psycho-tropic drugs; there was no downside." - Kieron Yates, London. "I really like it a lot. I plan to listen to another episode tonight as I wash the dishes." - Jonathan Winston, Bikescape, San Francisco - "Fantastic show! Full songs, audioscapes, long conversations, ambient noise...all very refreshing. Keep it up!"

The Bike Show
My claim to radio fame was being interviewed for an episode of the Bike Show....and, incredibly, it was featured too!! This was last year's Dunwick Dynamo at half two in the morning, only heard the program a couple of weeks ago. Bit of vanity never hurt a desperate soul :-) Seemed like a nice bloke Jack.
