”Bicycle” an 86 minute docu*entary, asks the question why is cycling and the bicycle back in fashion? The film, which is directed by BAFTA winning director and keen cyclist Michael B.Clifford tells the story of cycling in the land that invented the modern bicycle, it’s birth, decline and re birth from Victorian origins to today. The film weaves bicycle design, sport and transport through the retelling of some iconic stories and features interviews with notable contributors Sir Dave Brailsford, Gary Fisher, Chris Boardman, Ned Boulting, Sir Chris Hoy, Tracy Moseley, Mike Burrows and many more plus great archive, animation and music.  “Bicycle” is a humorous, lyrical and warm reflection on the bicycle and cycling and its place in the British national psyche. The bicycle has been central in my life even to the point where now i have my own brand of bikes. I am excited to see a docu*entary about the bicycle's history and impact in Britain.

I hope it can inspire more people to give cycling a go. Tracy Moseley World Enduro MTB Champion 2013 Images provided courtesy of Coventry Transport Museum and David Weight
