Made in Bristol, this new documentary celebrates the heroes of the British grassroots cycling scene. Their ranks include Colin Sturgess, the individual professional pursuit champion at the world championships in 1989; Sean Yates, winner of a Tour de France time-trial stage in 1988 and one of the early architects of Team Sky; and Phil and Grant Bayton, a father and son cycling dynasty.
Dominic Wade‘s film also looks at those enthusiasts who support these efforts, such as mechanic and collector Chris Weston, whose Isle of Wight home is a paradise for bike junkies. It promises to be quite a treat for pedallers of every stripe.
