Resonance FM is moving to new and better studios! This is great news, but it means the station is suspending all live broadcasts until the move is complete (sometime in August). Instead it will be broadcasting repeats from the past five years of art radio.
The Bike Show will return in due course, later in the year, though there may be a special podcast-only preview of the Symphony for Singing Bicycles, which was an outstanding success last weekend. Some photos are already beginning to appear online. And there’s short audio clips here here. Until then, enjoy Le Tour and let’s hope the summer appears before it’s too late.
Join us for Tour de France festivities in sunny Waterloo on Friday and Saturday of Le Grand Départ in London. The Bike Show is teaming up with Scooterworks for a two-day bonanza of bicycles, music and fun. Continue reading →

Maybe Godfried-Willem Raes’s 2nd Symphony could be your chance. And, it isn’t even very difficult: join the symphony with your bicycle.

In conversation with Julian Bray, a journalist and rider with the Rapha Condor team. Julian came to competitive cycling after falling in love with the continental tradition of the cyclosportive: mass-participation road races of historic or cultural significance, such as the annual Etape du Tour and the Gran Fondo Campagnolo. We discuss the appeal of cyclosportives, the practical issues of how to rider one and Julian gives his impression of the London-Canterbury ‘British Etape’ cyclosportive and his all-time Top 5 events. Also in the show a chance to win one of three copies of a new DVD about the route of the 2007 Etape and two tickets to a talk at London’s Design Museum by the curator of a new exhibition about fixed wheel bicycles.
