The Melbourne Writers Festival is in full swing so it seemed like a great time to revisit one of our favourite intersections, books and bikes. MWF Festival Director Lisa Dempster is a keen bike rider. Is it coincidence that there has been a cycling themed stream in each festival Lisa has run or a sign of the times?
Our studio guest is Greg Foyster, author of Changing Gears, and a guest on the show in the past. Greg is involved in a couple of sessions at this years MWF and seemed the perfect person to share our favourite cycle reading with. You can find literary intersections with bicycles in the most unexpected places, even in astronaut Chris Hadfield’s keynote speech about space travel!
