Kraftwerk cycling clip

[Simon Mason]

Here is a 2m 30 s clip of a rare interview from 3 DEC 95 which mentions Kraftwerk's passion for
cycling, until Ralf Hutter's crash which apparently permanently damaged him.

Great stuff Simon, but... 1.3MB... Ouch!

If anyone's interested, I've edited out some of the dialogue-free parts, converted it to dialup
quality realplayer format (1'50" and 286kB) and uploaded it to a far flung corner of my
website... http://www.geocities.com/poemsandpints/misc/ralf/ralfalps.htm (but I'll be taking it
off again soon!)

I'll justify this shameless and cynical attempt to get traffic by pointing out there is a poem
called 'Cycling' by up on the site already ...

Anybody got any clues on the Kraftwerk shirt sizing yet?

Yup ... took me all of 5 seconds to download it ... this 2mb cable line just for me is
just so OTT :)

hmmm, interesting... you're one of the 2Mb trialists..

I'm gutted that NTL can't get their act together and sort out a 2Mbit connection and I'll have to
keep languishing on slow old, fusty old 1Mbit :-)

Sorry, I should have put the download size there. I didn't want to reduce it too much as it was FM
radio quality to start with. Simon

This is from that irritating radio programme by Stuart Maconie. I have the whole thing on tape
somewhere.
