Jeremy Vine's continuing build-up to his new C5 show, starting on Monday, today includes an interview in the Telegraph.
Jeremy Vine’s latest purchase is £2,000-worth of Brompton electric bike, the sort of grown-up toy that goes with a midlife crisis. Vine, who turned 53 in May, swears it’s more than a trinket.
“It’s my secret weapon!” he cries, hopping on to demonstrate its speed at the London hotel where we meet to discuss his new show. Folding it away, he says it will take him the two miles between BBC Broadcasting House and Channel 5, where he is about to start work, in 11 minutes. “It really does help speed you along,” he says happily.
The electric Bromptons, starting at £2,025, may be outside the BBC's Cycle to Work Scheme, which, presuming Jezzer is on a contract of more than 12 months, he should have considered.
Cycle to Work
Cycle to work is a government backed scheme which allows BBC staff to hire
a bike package (up to £1,000 per year) from the BBC and make significant
savings on VAT, Tax and National Insurance.
