We also hear from Mark, controller at from Zero Couriers, London’s first and only dedicated cargo bike courier company about the challenges his company has faced convincing potential commercial clients to choose pedal-powered cargo delivery. 8Freight photo thanks to BikeFix.

Jack Thurston canvases the (mixed) opinions of passersby and rapidly discovers that no one has been consulted about this proposed new byelaw. Koy Thomson, director of the London Cycling Campaign shares his perspective on the plans and argues for shared space. Amy Cooper reports on cycle training with Patrick Field and a new year’s wish list of cycle-friendly policies for the next Mayor of London. For more on the draft byelaw banning cycling on the Thames Path, visit Southwark Cyclists’ website. To make your views known to the two Southwark Councillors responsible for this policy area, you can email them directly: Lisa.Rajan@southwark.gov.uk Paul.Noblet@southwark.gov.uk Jeffrey.Hook@southwark.gov.uk It might be a good idea to forward or cc any emails you send on this to the redoubtable Barry Mason of Southwark Cyclists, who is leading the campaign against the byelaw: info@southwarkcyclists.org.uk MP3 | Other file formats (Ogg Vorbis etc) Advocacy, London, Podcast, Politics, Women Resonance FM no no http://thebikeshow.net/15-january-2007-women-bike-messengers-and-a-ride-through-a-very-long-tunnel/ http://thebikeshow.net/15-january-2007-women-bike-messengers-and-a-ride-through-a-very-long-tunnel/#comments Tue, 16 Jan 2007 20:07:00 +0000 Jack Thurston http://thebikeshow.net/?p=78 http://thebikeshow.net/15-january-2007-women-bike-messengers-and-a-ride-through-a-very-long-tunnel/feed/ 5 0:29:20 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!! And if you want to help the Bike Show and all Resonance fm’s unique broadcasting stay on the air…. don’t delay! You can donate to our emergency fund quickly and painlessly here. Remember, all the programme-makers and engineers on Resonance are unpaid. We need to raise £60,000 now to pay for basic things like renting our studio (a damp and airless cave) and powering our antenna (a rusty coathanger tied to the top of a hospital). It’s not rocket science but without donations from listeners, it will all come to an end very soon. MP3 Download Ogg Vorbis Download London, Podcast, Touring, Women Resonance FM no no
