The film features Hunt Bike Wheels ambassador Hamish Paine and brand manager Josh Ibbett (winner of this year’s Transcontinental race).
Q&A: Transcontinental rider Josh Ibbett
Shot in the Pyrenees, it also has a cameo appearance by cycling photographer Camille McMillan.

Does the "super-loud yellow" also help alert (non-deaf / non-earbud-wearing) pedestrians? Or will it just mean dogs bark at me?
