Bicycle - The Film DVDBicycle documentary DVD and posters now on sale (+ videos)
The makers of the documentary Bicycle have issued a DVD of the film, as well as posters including a signed limited edition. They have also made available a screening licence for purchase through its website.
The documentary, described by described by the broadcaster Ned Boulting as “Lyrical, affectionate, beautiful. A hymn of praise to a humble wonder; the bicycle.” continues to enjoy a limited cinematic release.
It has been well received by people attending sell-out viewings around the country, as well as a private screening at the Palace of Westminster hosted by the All-Party Parliamentary Cycling Group.
The DVD costs £12.99 from the shop on the Bicyclethefilm.com website, and the poster is also available to buy in A1 and A3 sizes, including a signed, limited edition of 100 prints. Prices for those range from £10 to £35, while the screening licence costs £180.
Forthcoming screenings include one at Bradford-upon-Avon on 15 November as part of the Bath Film Festival. A full list of screenings, including details of venues and times, can also be found on the film’s website.
The film is also now being used as a campaigning tool by those who would like to see more Britons encouraged onto two wheels by committing spend to cycling to create dedicated infrastructure.
Last week a special edit was released featuring British Cycling policy advisor Chris Boardman, among others, appealing to the government to set aside dedicated funding for cycling.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Bought this - sight unseen and it is well worth the money.
We are very proud of the film and the impact it is now having: thanks road cc for the all the support As one of the producers we really hope it helps to bring about major secured budget funding year on year for cycling. Please use the Boardman short excerpt film far and wide to help us all achieve that.
