Cycling infrastructure is a hot topic in many cities around the world these days. But why should city councils spend their money on getting more people out on the bike? Because they can't afford not to. This is the only conclusion you will draw after reading Peter Walker's "How Cycling Can Save the World" - all based on thourough research and evidence. Listen to this conversation with Peter about his book, why cycling is so good for everything and why we shouldn't be so fanatic about helmets!

In this episode we’ll be hearing from Teresie Hommersand. She is Norwegian but has been living in South Africa for several years. And now she is on her way back home to Norway by bicycle. And just to make a point of it she isn’t just ending her journey at the Norwegian border. No! She is continuing all the way up to North Cape. That’s the northernmost point of Europe. She has been on her way for 3 years and is now on the final stretch up through Norway.
