The bike podcast: Solstice cycling, Lib-Con bikers and the Tour

This month Helen Pidd pedals over to Westminster to join the MPs on
the annual All-Party Parliamentary bike ride. She asks Lib Dem
transport minister Norman Baker how he is going to support cycling now
all the money has run out; meets the bicycling baronet, Sir George
Young, and encounters a rather angry Ben Bradshaw.

Back in the studio, she talks Tour de France with Tim Moore, author of
French Revolutions ex pro rider Brian Smith and the
Guardian's own Matt Seaton.

Will Wiggo get on the podium? Is anyone going to try and cheat with a motorised bike? The panel discuss all this and more.

Also on the podcast this month: Lucy Greenwell gets up before the
larks to take part in the Midsummer Madness Bike Ride on the longest
day of the year, and we go along to witness a new initiative teaching
mums to ride bikes in east London.
