Load of heroes featured - Carlton Reid, John Grimshaw, and what a mensch Chris Boardman is. I don't follow sports cycling at all so a lot of the athletes and events were new to me, and looked as though they inject a bit of cycling oxygen into the nation's blood. A fairly hopeful documentary. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13500#post-168571 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 16:12:02 +0000 chdot 168571@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Only one of these people is in the film -</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/15507905225/"><img src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5608/15507905225_aed75a3db8.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13500#post-168569 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 16:03:45 +0000 Arellcat 168569@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>After being sold out on Thursday, literally some people came along today. I feel a bit sorry for the Cameo, having gone to the effort of arranging the second showing. Perhaps as many as 30 people filled the auditorium, and four of them were our man in black, me, Peter Hawkins and Mrs Peter. chdot and I had a quick (as in drunk, not as in made!) coffee before the film.</p> <p>I loved it for its celebratory theme. I don't go to the cinema very often at all, so when I do I like to forget about lighting techniques, camera angles, edits, soundtrack choices and so on, and let it all wash over me. I found the very last scene really quite emotional.</p> <p>I have to add that the Cameo has the best seats of any cinema I've ever been to, and Gary Fisher looks an awful lot like Les Claypool these days. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13500#post-168568 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 16:03:37 +0000 chdot 168568@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Worth seeing. </p> <p>Useful history 'lessons'. </p> <p>Too much racing really. </p> <p>Chris Boardman has come to "campaigning" via racing. </p> <p>'We' know that, but perhaps not most people who see bikes as 'machines for racing'. </p> <p>His call for £10 per head for cycling <em>every year</em> is likely to become louder. Perhaps 'more realistic' than calling for the full Dutch - £20. </p> <p>"</p> <p>Bicycle (@BICYCLEfilm) tweeted at 10:56am - 14 Oct 14: </p> <p>Ask your MP to attend screening nxt Tuesday 7pm House of Commons:find them here <a href="http://t.co/TSA6vBgDGB" rel="nofollow">http://t.co/TSA6vBgDGB</a><br /> @Chris_Boardman<br /> @allpartycycling (<a href="https://twitter.com/BICYCLEfilm/status/522091768180125697" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/BICYCLEfilm/status/522091768180125697</a>) </p> <p>" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13500#post-168565 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 15:47:46 +0000 Ed1 168565@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I will need to catch the next showing had my first group cycle today with work folk. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13500#post-168537 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 23:11:34 +0000 Arellcat 168537@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone else on for 12.45 tomorrow?

The film, which is directed by BAFTA winning director and keen cyclist Michael B.Clifford tells the story of cycling in the land that invented the modern bicycle, it’s birth, decline and re birth from Victorian origins to today. The film weaves bicycle design, sport and transport through the retelling of some iconic stories and features interviews with notable contributors Sir Dave Brailsford, Gary Fisher, Chris Boardman, Ned Boulting, Sir Chris Hoy, Tracy Moseley, Mike Burrows and many more plus great archive, animation and music. “Bicycle” is a humorous, lyrical and warm reflection on the bicycle and cycling and its place in the British national psyche.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.bicyclethefilm.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.bicyclethefilm.com</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13500#post-168007 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 19:46:24 +0000 Arellcat 168007@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>CCE outing??</em></p> <p>Sounds like a plan. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13500#post-168005 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 18:52:37 +0000 chdot 168005@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> Bicycle (@BICYCLEfilm)<br /> 13/10/2014 18:17<br /> “@CyclingEdin: Edinburgh needs another showing</p> <p>” another screening this Saturday 1pm tiks from tomm @CameoCinema</p> <p>"</p> <p>CCE outing?? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13500#post-167989 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 16:33:02 +0000 Arellcat 167989@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thought it was time to bump this thread.</p> <p>Tickets seem to be sold out, according to the Cameo's website. :-( I'm annoyed and surprised that there's only one showing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13500#post-166749 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 12:53:12 +0000 chdot 166749@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>BAFTA-winning director Michael B.
