Although the episode is entitled 'Fraternal Schwinns', the hit TV programme is to feature Kelsey Grammer riding a Cannondale Road Warrior. The episode airs in the US tonight and will air in the UK later in the year.

Frasier episode to feature charity bike ride

Pressured into participating in the annual radio station bike-a-thon, Frasier must confront one of his childhood demons and learn to ride a bike, says NBC.com.

Volunteered by Daphne, an equally apprehensive Niles joins his brother as the two head-docs "take off their training wheels on the road to cycling glory."

Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) autographed both the bike and the show’s script for a charity auction to be run by Bicycling and Mountain Bike magazines to benefit the Bikes Belong Coalition at the Sea Otter Classic.

A report on the episode will appear here tomorrow.
