The bike podcast: Bicycle film festival and bobbies on bikes

In the fourth edition of our bike podcast, Jason Solomons reports from the London leg of the Bicycle film festival, part of a 39-city circuit. He's a keen film fan but very much a cyclophobe, will this experience convert him? And what do film and cycling have in common anyway?

The once familiar sight of a bobby on their bike is making a comeback across the UK. PC Ricky Martin from Holloway police station regularly patrols the beat two-wheel style, and he takes us out with him.

The Sustrans national cycle networks are a fantastic way to explore the countryside - mapping out over 12,000 miles of routes for walkers and cyclists across the country. Francesca Panetta joins Sustrans regional director, Simon Pratt, on a scouting mission for new routes.
