Why fixed gear bikes are no longer just for couriers but a mainstream cycling trend
Fixed gear bikes are the current trend in cycling, taking big cities by storm. The trend started amongst delivery people but has gone mainstream. In San Francisco, there are a number of workshops dedicated to them - the programme visits one of them.
Also on the programme: The Dutch architect planning an artificial archipelago in the Black Sea, shaped like Russia. Plus, a look at the new slide projectors that are so small they'll fit into mobile phones and personal devices.
