- Excellent and inspiring
Brilliant and inspirational podcast for people who walks, cycles or wheels in the UK. Like ‘War on Cars’ but less angry and combative. Even better, after listening to the interview with Westminster City Council's Max Sullivan (on the side road Zebras episode) I emailed him about a dangerous part of my commute and it was sorted out!

Apple Podcasts5Rosie FCUnited Kingdom2 years ago - A valuable alternate perspective on bike advocacy
Very interesting to hear how bike advocacy is "the same but different" in England vs. the US. I should however deduct a star after Laura Laker jinxed my bike by talking about flat tires on the Paris Olympics show. Puncture resistant belts not withstanding, I got my first flat in several years on the very next ride.
