There's a bit at 07:34 where the three presenters design their own bicycles and present the designs (briefly) to a panel consisting of Mr Obree amongst others. Then they race them...</p> <p>Given that the presenters 'design their own', two of the designs seem quite familiar. If you are wealthy enough, I am sure Laidback Bikes could provide them (although probably better-finished than the Blue Peter versions). One of the designs is rubbish.</p> <p>In case you're wondering, Mini-Greenroofer likes Blue Peter. It's not something I tend to watch on my own any more. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7677#post-158809 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 14:49:15 +0000 chdot 158809@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Tuesday 8:00</p> <p><a href="http://www.radiotimes.com/episode/cytj7t/the-cycle-show--series-3---episode-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.radiotimes.com/episode/cytj7t/the-cycle-show--series-3---episode-1</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7677#post-79961 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 16:45:48 +0000 Min 79961@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oh that is cool and a good sign.

The sound was much improved (heid mics probably helped), Merckx was an utter gent and star, and each of the segments was more interesting than last week. Still to rapid, but they've only got the 30 minute slot (which, they've mentioned, equates to 22 minutes of programming), so things like the Nearly Naked Men was a bit rushed, and the segway into bike fitting felt ridiculously forced. Lady Velo wasn't at her best niterviewing those guys, but unscripted in the studio she did much better.</p> <p>Editorial policy is <em>definitely</em> have someone mention wearing a helmet (Kemp last night - it's notable that in the opening credits even the Boris Biker is lidded). Cynically I think that might have something to do with ChainReaction being a main sponsor (notable that the Cycle Show were plugging ChainReaction's bike fit pages at the moment the 'get a proper bike fitting' piece was being broadcast - I'd expect there's a bit of that every week).</p> <p>Also interested in Anna's piece in Edinburgh, be intrigued to see what's going on. I've got in touch, okay that's from a personal 'look at me!' point of view, but it would appear with Lady Velo having been on there that they're looking at using guest presenters, but also to try and find out what the challenge she's doing is, just in case it's something you can go to watch. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7677#post-79875 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 20:51:47 +0000 chdot 79875@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's on ITV Player for 23 days. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7677#post-79874 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 20:39:45 +0000 Smudge 79874@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>DOH!

Bit less background noise from the cafe might help - you could see Mansell and Obree having to crane forwards to hear the questions they were asked. First show (first few shows) will always be about finding its feet. 30 minutes is too short to fit everything in, but have to say the Box Hill segment was pretty dull; and Wayne Hemingway's bit about 'how to stay safe' was simply too lightweight - again there are time restraints, but that being the case maybe better to steer clear altogether? After al, I would imagine the majority of the audience are already cyclists - might be wrong...</p> <p>SRD, bikes + cakes is Ronde territory down in Stockbridge. I really must finally go there one day - expensive, but I get the feeling Look Mum No Hands is a little 'trendy' too (and in London) so prices will be similarly high (their online menus show no prices).</p> <p>Was always my city-centre bike shop plan, but you kinda need capital and backers and contacts - huge admiration for anyone starting up a bike shop, and then making it a success (I'm looking at you Bike Chain people). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7677#post-79101 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 21:28:48 +0000 SRD 79101@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>K. wanted to know why it was in a pub.
