Politics and the Bike - a podcast by Red Kite Prayer

Padraig talks to Charles Pelkey about politics, his days covering the pro peloton and a trip to Iceland.

In addition to talking to Charles about his political aspirations, we talk about how to approach talking politics during a group ride. Campaign 2016 has proven to be a spectacle. Should rides be an escape from the madness or a vehicle for further discussion?

Our best wishes go out to Steve Tilford, who is recovering from a serious crash. His friends have rallied around him but they have also not hidden the fact that Steve was not wearing a helmet during a fast group ride.

The loss of Robin Williams has been a heartbreak worldwide. But his family is doing something very special to make us all smile despite the loss of a great comedian and actor. Williams' bike collection is being put up for auction with the proceeds going to two great causes.
