Apparently its part of a series.

[quote]Africa, The Power of Two Wheels.
Mark Stephen discovers the importance of the bicycle as a global barometer of social, economic and environmental change.
Namibia's scattered population faces a huge struggle against poverty and AIDS. A bicycle can provide great freedom - access to healthcare, education and work - that sheer distance often renders impossible. Taking a trip across this vast country, Mark sees for himself the impact that owning a bicycle can have on the lives of Africa's rural poor.

[quote]Europe: The Once and Future King of the Road
Mark Stephen discovers the importance of the bicycle as a global barometer of social, economic and environmental change.
Over 200 years after its invention, it could be that the humble bike will once again be king of the road in the developed world. Alongside an increasing number of commuters, Mark Stephen braves the cycle lanes of London.
He then travels to Denmark to discover whether a cycling revolution in the UK could ever match the number of cyclists who take to the streets of bicycle-friendly European cities like Copenhagen.
Both Radio 4 9pm but will be able to listen via stream on t'internet after broadcast.
