This programme looks at how the global bike industry is working to bring higher-end bikes to cyclists across the world. Finn visits Mumbai to see Firoza Suresh, the city's first 'bicycle mayor' - learning how she's encouraging to get people fit and to reduce pollution. High-end bikes are increasingly available to everyday consumers, because parts are made in hubs such as Taiwan, before being shipped to manufacturers around the world. Babita visits Brompton Bicycles in London - one such manufacturer who relies on the global trade to make their very British product.
