.being an 'art' radio station do you see cycling as an art in itself, or the bicycle as a work of art?

Bikes are tools - and with any tool you can use it to express yourself, to make art. The artist Hamish Fulton says his long distance walks are his art, so i guess there's no reason why cycling can't be considered an art in itself. For me, I'm more interested in why so many creative people have an affinity for cycling. From HG Wells to Sartre to last year's Turner Prize winner Jeremy Deller. I think there is something very expressive about the freedom that cycling brings, and the exhileration of so many images flashing past. I had a psychologist on the show in April who explained that cycling (along with other kinds of repetitive exercise like walking or swimming) can increase the brain's alpha-waves, which are thought to be the source of creative thinking.

.is there any aspect of cycling which you won't cover?

I want the show to be as open as possible, so no, there's nothing i wouldn't think about covering. It may be that in some cases it'd be better for someone else to cover a particular subject rather than for me to do it. I don't really fancy trying to keep up with the riders in the Race Across America.

.are there any plans for the station to broadcast outside London?

Resonance FM broadcasts on a Community FM license which restricts stations to a fairly local broadcast, in our case, Central London. But it it possible to tune in live via broadband internet and to access the archive of past shows via the podcast facility. People are already tuning in from more than a dozen - from California to Australia to Thailand.

.john peel or dave lee travis?

John Peel definitely. He's sorely missed.
