It's been a really horrendous few weeks, and Alex and Karen discuss ways in which we can all possibly make small changes to the way we travel in order to try and reduce our oil consumption. 

It's not all about Ukraine though - we also discuss whether it's quicker to cycle or drive to the Scout hut, being Spiderman, solar powering your cargo bike, how Alex is learning to swim, some new bikes for children with proportional dwarfism, how to impress teenagers, a new bike gear shifter,  plus lots lots more!
