Coaching
Raya and Stephen are wrapped up snug on a bitter autumn day in Podcast Towers, and as ever the conversation is 'all about the bike'. Staring forlornly at the sodden roads, Stephen discusses his last big 'challenge' of 2018, which will be his longest and hardest ride yet. Included in that is the hurdle of which London bridge a cyclist should use to cross, and before you know it the Pod has the lowdown on cycling and bridges. Which one are you most likely to die on?
