On Yer Bike

A two-disc collection of films from the BFI Archive which provides a fascinating portrait of the British cycling experience on film, including short dramas, animations, advertisements, newsreel items and public information films.

Taking the viewer on a tour from nineteenth-century ladies elegantly cycling to the cut-throat 1928 Olympic trials at the Herne Hill Velodrome and the careless BMX kids of the 1980s, On Yer Bike offers up a century of cycling in Britain, celebrating classic brands such as Raleigh, Hercules and the hand-crafted Witcomb Racing Cycle on its way.

Special Features:
