Catch it while you can!

If you skip back through this blog a few months, you may remember I mentioned a book called "It's All About The Bike" by Robert Penn. It was an engaging mix of the author's own personal cycling history, the history of the bicycle itself, and the story of the building of his dream bike. It was a large influence on my choice of frame and handlebars, too.

Well, the good news is that he also made TV programme on the same theme, and it's on iPlayer until this Thursday. I recommend you watch it while you can - it's an enjoyable way to spend an hour, it's educational without being dull, and it's impossible not to be affected by Robert Penn's enthusiasm for the bicycle.
