Episode 12

Get on Your Bike and Ride with Mark Beaumont and Angus Rodney

Published on: 21st February, 2024

Are you ready to get on your bike and ride? Tune in to our latest podcast featuring cycling legend Mark Beaumont (redefining what is possible on two wheels), and Angus Rodney from Love 2 Ride (the home of cycling encouragement) which we hope will have you dusting off your cycling gear to rediscover the childhood mischief to be had  on two wheels. 

A refreshingly practical conversation with no shortage of inspirational stories and plenty of  information to help anyone who may wish to get into cycling. We discuss a variety of barriers and how different groups and organisations are leading the change and overcoming many of these. 

Are you already a cyclist? Are you able to incorporate this into your working days from time to time? Does your practice encourage staff and/or patients to cycle? What are your own barriers? We’d love to know your thoughts after tuning into this episode. 

‘Young and old we can all ride further’ (from Mark’s podcast series Endurance, which is well worth a listen).

Produced using funding from NHS Tayside Educational Fund and the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine.
