At an All Party Parliamentary Cycling Group reception in the House of Commons, MPs, peers and bike big-wigs heard from British Cycling's performance director Dave Brailsford and BMX racer Shanaze Reade. Brailsford revealed that freestyle BMX is likely to be introduced at the London Olympics; talked about an aborted scheme to make Ed Clancy faster; and revealed the Beijing Olympics skinsuits have all been shredded for protection from industrial espionage. This is one of two audio podcasts from the reception. The other features Kulveer Ranger, Boris Johnson's transport chief, and David Brown, managing director for Surface Transport at Transport for London. Subscribe to the podcast for free in iTunes.
