The Bike Show moves into advocacy mode this week with guest in the studio Debra Rolfe, Campaigns Director of the Cyclists' Touring Club (CTC), Britain's largest cycling organisation with 60,000+ members. Debra is spearheading the CTC's new campaign against bad driving by motorists called Stop SMIDSY. The aim is to draw attention to the dangers of inattentive dangerous driving and the oh-so-familiar refrain 'Sorry Mate, I Didn't See You'. We discuss the campaign and how cyclists can report near misses online. Also in the show is a preview of 116 to Sea, an exhibition of photographs of the Dunwich Dynamo night ride by Joe McGorty. Joe is joined by Dunwich Dynamo godfather Patrick Field. And then there's the second installment of Paul Fournel reading from Need for the Bike. Phew, all that in just half an hour!

Pedal Pusher is a play that follows three cyclists mdash; Jan Ullrich, Marco Pantani and Lance Armstrong mdash; in the most dramatic recent era of professional cycle sport: from the young prodigy Jan Ullrich winning the Tour in 1997, the doping scandals of 1998, Armstrong's conquest of cancer and ending with Pantani's exile from the sport and eventual death from a cocaine overdose. By interweaving the biographical stories with recreations of the Tour de France races onstage, the play tells the difficult but uplifting story of their lives through excitement and energy of the race itself. I speak with the four-man cast and director Roland Smith. Pedal Pusher runs until Saturday 1st August 2009, showing on Monday to Saturday nights at 7:30pm. Tickets are pound;12 (pound;10 concessions). Rob Ainsley at Real Cycling has reviewed Pedal Pusher as has Edward R Burge. Photo copy; Holly McGlynn Play on links below.

Around 500 people enjoyed the sixteenth edition of the classic British night ride that covers some 120 miles (190 kilometres) through north east London, Essex and Suffolk. But you don't have to wait until the next Dunwich Dynamo on 4 July 2009 for a sublime overnight bicycle experience, as Grant Peterson of Rivendell Bicycle Works explains. Play on links below.

In a special Valentine's Day edition, sultry Southwark Cyclist Miss Alex Crawford explains why cycling is so good for flirting while love goddess Venus Kamura tells of the fifth annual Reclaim Love 'happening' on Saturday 16 February at the Eros Statue on Piccadilly Circus. Over the past few days, all across the bicycling world, there has been an outpouring of love for the inspirational Sheldon Brown who sadly died last weekend. We play a song by Oysterband, Sheldon's all time favourite band. Plus a heads up for Wheels and Heels, a lovely bicycle fashion show on the evening of the 14th, at Columbia Road from 6pm and a chance to party 'til the break of dawn with the swashbuckling Trixie Chix, on Friday 15th February way up there in Dalston, northeast London. No excuse not to get loved up one way or another this week. Whew! MP3 #124; Other file formats (Ogg Vorbis etc) Bicycle,music,,Events,,France,,London,,People,,Podcast,,Style Jack Thurston no No
