    Check out the podcast at

    http://www.crankk.com/blog/

    (can be listened to straight from the page, no special stuff required)

    ....where Larry from Crankk interviews Dr Ian Walker, the guy who published
    the paper on H*lm*ts and overtaking distance. It's a good interview, and may
    interest people here. Larry's previous 2 part interview with Edward Genochio
    is also worth a listen.

    As an aside, cycling podcasts are getting interesting; cycling news and
    views, the Fredcast, Crankk, Bikescape and The Bike Show are all essential
    listening here. Anyone else got any recommendations?

    Yes a good listen. It cleared up one point I had wondered about. Dr
    Walker being hit twice during a short study. As distance from the kerb
    was one variable Dr Walker did not swerve if he felt an overtaking
    vehicle was dangerously close as doing so would invalidate his data.
    He said in normal cycling neither hit would have happened as he
    would have swerved to avoid them. Not statistically significant of
    course but both hits were when he was wearing a helmet and one was by a
    truck and one by a bus.
    At least if he had been knocked of his helmet would have saved his
    life.

    You need speakers and audio software, at the very least; that is
    special.

    Now, now. Trolling is immoral. Feel free to take the [censored], but so
    much has been extracted on this topic that people have sensitive
    bladders.

    FWIW, I was attempting to point out that you didn't need an iPod to listen
    to a podcast, it could be done from the majority of home PC's.

    Suit yourself. Are you a professional pedant, or just a very competent
    amateur?

    I am a a professional pedant, with 40 years experience, and am widely
    regarded as being quite skilled in my field.

    May I point out that you have a surplus "a" in your post? ;-)
