Pt 1: Is Cycling on the Road Actually Good for Your Health? with Chris Boardman

Olympic gold medalist, National Travel commissioner and world cycling champion, Chris Boardman joins Alex for a wander along the canals of North London.  Chris describes how he’s gone from gold medals to working towards safer cycling, why even as a world champion he feels unsafe riding his bike and why making helmets mandatory actually puts people off cycling.  Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/chris_boardmanbikes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@chris_boardmanbikes</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/activetravelengland/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@activetravelengland</a> and the podcast on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thestompcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@thestompcast </a> Hosted on Acast.
