Bike Talk debuts tonight as an "on-air" KPFK show at 11 p.m.. For the past year it has been available through KPFK as a podcast only, or via live streaming through http://killradio.org.

The show deals mostly with urban cycling issues in and around Los Angeles, but covers a broad spectrum of the bicycling lifestyle from around the country. The show has interviews with racers, tourers, framebuilders, ride and race organizers, and just interesting cycling personalities. They do a good bit of coverage of those working the political system to the benefit of cycling.

There have been a couple of shows that covered mountain biking over the past few months:

October 24 show: Interviews with Jeff Klinger, (CORBA President) and Me (about the LA Bike Plan)

November 7 show: Jim Hasenauer Interview (CORBA founder, past IMBA president) and Ned Overend

The archives are accessible at

Tonight, 12/29, I'm talking about the LA Master Bike Plan again, along with people from the City, LAStreetsBlog, and other interesting personalities. It will be on air at 11:00 p.m. on 90.7 fm. I was in the studio yesterday to pre-record the segment. Hopefully I come across sounding like I know what I'm talking about.

If you don't know about the LA Master Bike Plan, visit http://corbamtb.com/campaigns, send a letter, and get up to speed.

They're interested in having a regular mountain biking segment, so we may have more news later.
 
Thanks! I listened to most of the show last night and it was pretty cool.

Regarding last night's topic - LA is so bike UN-friendly, all these die-hard advocates really have a serious uphill battle to get the City of LA to do anything. Master Plans are notorious for only containing lofty visions and goals without any real commitments.

However, I was swayed by your argument for allowing bikes on trails in LA City Parks. There may not be many trails in these parks, but I agree that an outright ban on bikes does "send the wrong message" (i.e. bikes are bad).
