Film Review:

Now available on Amazon Prime streaming "Bicycle", a documentary by M.B. Clifford does a creditable job of presenting the history of the bicycle and it's impact on the culture and sport of Britain in a humorous non-pedantic vein .

Blending interviews with key figures, historical photos and films with an episodic time line it's got some great "stuff".
Penny-farthings, the 1st safety bike, the time trial culture, lousy roadway planning, recent Junior Women's World track racing, the banned Lotus aero bike, national bike paths, and Chris Boardman. What's not to like?

Highly recommended while imbibing Newcastle Brown Ale.
