If you want a free download of the film 'Bicycle' Then go to this site bicyclethefilm.com/shop/Then click on the tab in bottom left where is says, Bicycle digital download 'buy now'. Then when you get to the purchase , use this code bicycle4free.You need to create a Vimeo account or log in with yours if you already have one
I don't know if it's any good, but for free, I'm not complaining
Here's the blurb from the site
"The film team for ‘‘Bicycle” includes Bafta winning director Michael B Clifford and international award winning film producer Pip Piper of Blue Hippo Media.
Pip’s recent documentary “Last Shop Standing” about the UK’s independent record shops featured Paul Weller, Johnny Marr and Billy Bragg and received wide critical acclaim.
Rob Penn, broadcaster and author of acclaimed “It’s All About the Bike” is a creative consultant.
The film is currently in production and “Bicycle” will receive its World Premiere in early July 2014 to coincide with the TDF Grand Depart in Yorkshire and then later the Commonwealth Games in Scotland. It will be screened in cinemas across the UK whilst being released on DVD and Digital and Terrestrial TV. Through key media partnerships, PR and a strong social media campaign, the film will reach a very wide audience of cycle enthusiasts and beyond. The film will also travel across many borders reaching a significant audience both in the UK and internationally."

I watched this last night. A nice gentle film.
Very UK centred. Only international flavour was a 2 min segment on mountain bikes.
Tries to do lots of things, like history, individuals stories, manufacturers etc. Might be a case of trying to please everyone but spreading itself too thin and ending up pleasing none. But you can only do so much in 90 mins
Not enough about bikes ironically. By that I mean I wanted to see more bikes and have lingering shots of the workmanship etc.
Very interesting inside stuff on the origins of Sustrans that I was ignorant of.
But still better than most stuff on TV (although, the recent BBC4 programming showing trades such as glassblowing, metal working and the dawn chorus ,and tonights 2 hr real time narrowboat journey all without narration have been a breath of fresh air.) Anyone watch them?
