Fahrradsequenz aus dem amerikanischen Western Klassiker (1969) “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” mit Paul Newman, Katharine Ross und Robert Redford…
Der Film gewann neben dem “Best Song” Academy Award für “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” noch drei weitere für Best Screenplay, Best Score und Best Cinematography. Wer es bei Robert Redford und Sundance jetzt klingeln hört, liegt übrigens richtig…
Cloud Rock La Belle has been stoned for the last 40 years. Psychedelic drugs and absolute freedom are, for him, religious beliefs. Long estranged from his son Kaleo, the two men reconnect for a grueling 500-mile bike tour across the Pacific Northwest. A father himself, Kaleo is eager to move past his feelings of resentment, forgive his father, and come to understand the innate love that exists between father and son. In a confrontation of the past, these two men struggle to forge a future. Can they see beyond their polar-opposite values and philosophies? Can a son forgive a father who’s not asking for forgiveness? BEYOND THIS PLACE is a complex and emotionally dense film about family, forgiveness, and the arduous task of moving forward. – Lynne Crocker | Hot Docs Film Festival
i like to ride… fixed gear… no breaks!
… und immer wenn eine Kette/Kurbel als Action-Detail im Bild ist, haben sie dieses satte Freilaufklickern im Ton unterlegt… naja, so weiss wenigstens jeder sofort, dass ein Fahrrad im Bild ist.
“Cycle Me Home” is a very nice road movie project made by Hungarian and Spanish film students. Levi, after finishing his Erasmus semester in Madrid, is going back to his home, Budapest by bike, and his classmates from both schools are following him, filming his experiences on the coast of France or in the hills of Italy.
Starting as part of the ECMC2011 Madriz, and arriving to Budapest to Sziget Festival, during this 38 hard days and 2800 kms on the road, we want to meet as many riders, hippies, punks, hipsters or whoevers as possible, and we want to ask everybody to JOIN US!
Even if you want to drink your refreshing beer in the festival in Budapest or in the next bar in your village, come and ride with us!

What happens to an impoverished developing nation town when you flood it with 20,000 bicycles? You lift three times that number of people out of poverty. Pedals for Progress and founder David Schweidenback have been shipping used American bicycles to Rivas, Nicaragua for the last two decades and the transformation has been incredible.
A very nice Video made by the guys of situp-cycle.com.
“As you’ll see in this film, The Bicing Story, one of several we are doing on bike share around the world, the people looking after cycling in that city, have thought it all through and acted upon it too”
(Mike Rubbo, situp-cycle.com)
Nuff said.
It’s all about visibility and promoting cycling as a safe mode. Unfortunately some persons don’t get this.
We wrote about this some time ago in 2009 check (german post-sorry).
