The bike podcast: Sir Chris Hoy launches our new podcast

Kicking things off in the first episode of the bike podcast, the Guardian's online sports editor Sean Ingle asks Sir Chris Hoy for the best ways to improve fitness on a bike. Sir Chris also reveals a love for mountain biking and explains what the legacy for London 2012 should be.

In each podcast we'll be providing reviews of new bikes, and this month, expert (he even has a PhD in cycling) Dr Justin Spinney drops by to review the Fuji Roubaix Pro , the Trek 1.2 , and the Pinnacle Lagerra.

The national cycling organisation CTC firmly believes that the UK can double the amount of cyclists on the road in the next 10 years. Director Kevin Mayne speaks to Matt Wells about this vision and explains why British cyclists need to move away from an obsession with bad drivers and road rage.

Multi-coloured, fixed-wheel bikes are growing in popularity in cities around Europe, but what's the point of these stripped down machines? Fixed-Gear London tell us there's more to this movement than posers on fancy bikes.

And finally, Susan Greenwood catches a train up to Scotland to take in a mountain biking adventure on the Isle of Skye, very much leaving her comfort zone in the process.
