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. To write to your elected representatives about this issue, visit WriteToThem.com. It takes a matter of minutes and works. You'll find excellent coverage of the lorry/cyclist issue over at Moving Target, including some very good sample letters for inspiration.

We ride down through the park via the Serpentine Gallery to her studio in Fulham and then south over Wandsworth Bridge and via Wandsworth Prison to Tooting to see one of her cowbenches - lifesize cow-shaped benches upholstered in a single cowhide - and to talk about her current project involving a sculpture of a tricycle in Shanghai.

London's eight Royal Parks stretch from Greenwich in the east to Richmond in the west and make London one of the greenest big cities in Europe. Between them, the parks' 5500 acres of land are the lungs of the capital. But they have remarkably few paths where cycling is allowed. Mark Camley has been Chief Executive of the Royal Parks Agency for just over a year and is convinced more can be done to make the Royal Parks work for cyclists. I talk with Mark about the issues he's facing in making this happen, and then go for a ride around Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens with Ruth Holmes, a landscape management officer at the Royal Parks with special responsibility for cycling. Mark welcomes all comments and suggestions from park users, and says he reads all his email personally: mcamley@royalparks.gsi.gov.uk MP3 DOWNLOAD OGG VORBIS DOWNLOAD Environment,,London,,Podcast,,Politics,,Rolling,interview Jack Thurston no No http://thebikeshow.net/17-april-2006-cycling-in-new-york-city-part-two/ http://thebikeshow.net/17-april-2006-cycling-in-new-york-city-part-two/#comments Tue, 18 Apr 2006 08:54:00 +0000 Jack Thurston http://thebikeshow.net/?p=50 http://thebikeshow.net/17-april-2006-cycling-in-new-york-city-part-two/feed/ 4 00:01:01 As he crosses the Hudson River into Brooklyn, things take a turn for the weird on Jack Thurston's bicycle adventure in New York City.

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'.
