In this episode, we temporarily crawl out of our off-season funk and Night-Nurse induced drug haze to bring you all manner of nonsense currently swirling around in our brains.
In the purest example of self-generating content, we talk about what happened when we talked to someone! Not just any someone, however, only just flippin’ Graeme Obree, who we had the pleasure of interviewing during a Q & A session at Ronde in Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago.
We made mention of the excellent Eddlestone via Shiplaw blog by Andy Shaw, who took some great pictures of Graeme on the night.
We discuss the strange “forgotten man” tag that surrounds Carlos Sastre, and come to the conclusion that it is neither accurate or deserved.
Finally, we chat through the recent Change Cycling Now conference and the resultant Charter of the Willing which they published. Is it the catalyst for change or the catalyst which will result in the true catalyst for change emerging?

I clicked on the Ronde link and have a question regarding the photgraph of Roleur magazine as displayed on the “culture’ tab. As we do not have an equivalent publication on this side of the pond, could you explain the cultural significance of this magazine.
Thank you
Don’t know if your comment is tongue-in-cheek or not
. Rouleur (of which I am a subscriber) is a very upmarket (cf expensive) mag, printed on high quality paper & being a bit more essay-based rather than short-form articles. I don’t know if it specifically thinks of itself as a magazine about the “culture” of being a cyclist but that’s how it strikes me. Ask Santa for a copy, I’m sure you’ll love it (or it’s off-road sister publication, Privateer).
