How a Bicycle is Made (1945)

They sure don't make them like they used to.  What a glorious snapshot of true craftsmanship. Wonderful.

Vancouver Cycle Chic Social

Happen to be in Vancouver this weekend and looking for someone to ride with?
Love this gorgeous film clip from our friends over at Vancouver Cycle Chic.... am missing Summer!

Mobile Moments - Series 2, Part 3

They just keep getting better and better...
The thing that fascinates me most is that you never actually see the Christianiabike they are riding in - but the facial expressions say it all.

See all the films here.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the making of these films - wonderful.

Mobile Moments - Series 2, Part 2

More! More! More!

Happiness is a cargo bike.....

Mobile Moments - Series 2, Part 1

More happy smily people in the Christianiabike, sailing across the Perth Cultural Centre for the followup series of film portraitures for the Proximity Festival as part of Fringe World 2012.

This is a fascinating series - loving each film a little more each time I see it.

Cargo Bikes Make You Smile - Part 1

It's film week this week at Cycle Chic.

Here's a gorgeous series of films by Road Physical Theatre.  This film portraiture project was conceived and developed by Sarah Nelson during a 2011 Artist Residency with DADAA Inc, a community arts project in Derby, Kimberly Western Australia.

The (mainly) unseen star of the films for us is the Christianiabike - how could you not smile...

The Man Who Lived on his Bike

Well here's an absolutely brilliant but insane video from Canada.  DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.

THE MAN WHO LIVED ON HIS BIKE from Guillaume Blanchet on Vimeo.

Bike Pathé Presents......

This brilliant film shot on Super 8 echoes those old Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin silent films.  It follows an NYC bike messenger as he is derailed from delivering an urgent package by an alluring female cyclist.

Totally wonderful - enjoy!

You Just Can't Get Enough - Reasons to Cycle!

Love, love LOVE this film from Bikeminded in the UK.

Is riding like this really still such an odd concept ?  Seems so effortless to me and damn I miss London now....

Thanks to Mark at I Bike London for posting and Jools at Velo City Girl for the good work on the Coffee and Cake Cruise - definitely our kind of ride.....

Bikes - Fashion!

More clichés than you can poke a stick at and gratuitous boob shots but hey the soundtrack is good and it's nicely shot in black and white and I'm a big fan of their jeans.  It also features bicycles so..... we all know sex sells bikes right?

Look Mum No Hands!

It's been a while since I blogged and though I'd never promote this kind of reckless bicycle abandon....... damn this is funny.  And great soundtrack too.
(no nasty internet commenters please....)

Béret Baguette 2011 - A Little Slice of Parisian Chic

This just makes me yearn for summer riding again....... gorgeous and so very French!

Cargo Surfing - With a Bullitt!

Thanks to the lovely guys over at Cheeky Transport for alerting me to this today - just brilliant.
They have a shout out to Bullitt owners so if that's you and you're game for a spot of cargo surfing get in touch!
