Mark Simmons is a Brit who spent many years in Canada. When he returned to the UK he was looking for somewhere to live that was bikeable and he fell in love with Chichester.

We chat about Canada (and more specifically Vancouver) and what Chichester can learn about embracing active travel.

Ruth Speed hadn't done much other than childhood cycling and a couple of days on a bike in Milan until a year ago, but next month she is taking part in the gruelling L'Étape du Tour scaling three mountains and 100 miles!

I talk to her about what prompted her great challenge and about how she thinks the roads around Chichester could be improved to encourage people and women in particular to get on a bike more often.

In this episode, we meet Carley Sitwell & Louise Goldsmith who have been brought together by their love of cycling, their concern for the environment and a campaign to reinstate a landmark on one of Chichester’s most popular walking and cycling routes

We hear about their adventures on bikes, why Centurion Way is so important to them and the strange obstacle that has stood in the way of getting the landmark back
