A documentary about Herne Hill Velodrome. The track has known some hard times with its main building now closed-down due to deterioration and political feuds that stopped any long term redevelopment. This is the back drop to a series of moving interviews with cycling enthusiasts that range from a 1948 Olympic medallist to eight-year-old track users who all want the track to stay open.
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…
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.

It’s about time Mat Hoffman’s story was told and now it has been done by just the right people. Directed by longtime friend Jeff Tremaine and produced by Priya Swaminathan, Spike Jonze, and Mark Lewman, the film pays tribute to this BMX legend. It includes interviews with supporters and fans, like Evel Knievel. This film shows us the sacrifice it takes to be one of the greatest athletes in the world.

Four months on a bicycle between Cairo, Egypt and Cape Town South Africa is not your typical African safari.
En route with the Tour d’ Afrique, the world’s longest bicycle race and expedition, the Zenga Bros. (CAN) and Brian Vernor (USA) make light of this physically daunting trip by sharing a universal love of the bicycle with Africa’s roadside mechanics, sporting racers, and innumerable curious strangers.
Traveling more than 70 miles per day, 50 racers and expedition riders experienced the boundless Nubian desert of Sudan, the great majesty of Victoria Falls, and finally the cold rush of the Atlantic Ocean.
Where Are You Go captures the 7,000 mile expedition as a constant adventure full of playfulness and mysterious beauty, and is a testament to the endurance of human curiosity.
