The bike podcast: Jon Snow, Rollapaluza and helmet hair

How many people can say that cycling genuinely gave you your career break? Well that's what 'jobbing cyclist' Jon Snow claims. Matt Wells cycles down to Channel 4 news to find out why the nation's favourite news anchor owes his job to his humble steed.

James Randerson and I try out the Morning Rush Commuter mug, a coffee cup holder that you attach to your handlebars.

Peter Walker gives Rollapaluza a go. It's cycling, but not as you know it. For a start, your bike doesn't move an inch and it takes place in a pub.

Matt Seaton presents the first entry of his Cyclist's Almanac with an ode to the humble LED.

Finally, Toni and Guy give us tips on how to look like you've just stepped out of a salon while keeping safe on the road.
