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.

A particularly gruelling race, some say it is Ireland's 'Tour de France' and it is a much cherished tradition, far more so than the Tour of Ireland. John Herety, Directeur Sportif of the Rapha-Condor road racing team and formerly DS of Recycling.co.uk talks about the modern Raacute;s. We also tell the story of possibly the greatest legend of the Raacute;s: 'Iron Man' Mick Murphy, the blood-drinking, fire-eating hard man who won the 1958 race in quite extraordinary circumstances. Peter Woods is a documentary-maker at RTEacute; and tracked down Murphy (pictured above, at his home-made stone gym) and tells the story of one of sport's living legends. Woods's 40 minute documentary is compulsory listening. You can find it on the RTEacute; website. Photo credit: Kieran D. Murray.

With the UK mired deep in recession, unemployment on the rise, the value of the pound going down and consumer confidence at an all time low, we ask what effect this is having on the cycling business. We hear from the owners of two of London's new breed of bicycle boutiques (Tour de Ville and Bobbin Bicycles), from bike messenger Nhatt Attack, who has swapped her bike for a Christiania tricycle and is delivering flowers, from Carlton Reid, cycling journalist and Executive Editor of bike industry magazine BikeBiz.com and from BikeSnobNYC who adds his two pennies from New York.

The entire show this week is devoted to the problem of lorries killing cyclists in London. With Barry Mason of Southwark Cyclists and Cynthia Barlow, chairwoman of RoadPeace, the national campaign against deaths on Britain's roads. We also hear from London Assembly Member Val Shawcross who is tabling a motion this week urging more action to make the roads safer for London's cyclists.

The Bike Show is officially off air at the moment, but I couldn't resist a podcast-only edition to discuss the Evening Standard's Damscene conversion to the way of the bicycle. For years, London's leading daily newspaper has been in thrall to unreconstructed petrolheads, but this week the paper has come out for cycling with a big front page splash on Monday and a series of double-page features during the rest of the week. 'Buffalo' Bill Chidley, a former London bicycle messenger who runs Moving Target Zine, tells it like it is, from trouble with heavy goods vehicles to running red lights. He is as bewildered as I am about the Standard's volte face, and joins me for a look at the paper's 12 point 'charter' for safer cycling in the capital. We a chat and spin a few 45s in the sunshine of my back garden.

Women bike messengers might cut a better figure on the roads than their grungy, bearded and tattooed male counterparts, but are the girls better at their jobs than the boys? The answer is yes, if a handful of London's women bike messengers are to be believed. For details on the upcoming Roller Races, look here. We also have Hugo Gladstone riding with the Stourbridge Bicycle Users Group on a 'suburban secrets' adventure that takes in the 2.3 km Netherton canal tunnel. Wooohh!! Echoooohh!!

The LBMA works for London's 400-500 bicycle messengers (also known as couriers) and has run a prominent campaign to reduce the risks to cyclists posed by Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs). Bill and I visit three of the seven sites where London bicycle messengers have been killed while at work. In the studio are Jesse and Regan from the World Naked Bike Ride. The London ride will be on 11 June 2005, 3pm at Hyde Park Corner. The organisers have received approval from the Metropolitan Police so no arrests will be made for nudity. They hope this will result in an even better turnout than the 60+ of 2004. The idea is to go 'as bare as you dare'.
