Spokes has organised a FREE showing of the “Bicycle” film documentary at 8:30pm on Thursday 5 March 2015 at the Corn Exchange in Newbury.

“Bicycle” is a 90 minute documentary that 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 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.

“At a time when the bicycle is back in fashion, it is great to see a film about this beautiful machine coming out.”
Chris Boardman MBE, Olympic Gold Medallist
