CYCLOCROSS FILM

3 peaks cyclocrss race is back this month for another epic race. Last septmember I filmed parts of the race to produce my first short.

BROMPTON BICYCLES

The Brompton fold-up bicycle is a design classic in the truest sense. It was born out of the practical requirement for a better folding bike by the young engineer Andrew Ritchie in the early seventies, and the basic design has only been improved through better materials, geometry and components.

In this film the managing director at Brompton, William Butler-Adams, describes wonderfully the ethos and mindset at the company and accurately sums up cycling in UK cities. He is giving a talk at MADE festival in Sheffield this month which I'm really looking forward to! For more info on MADE visit www.madefestival.com.

The company has taken the bold move, and in my opinion the right move, of not forcing growth for growth’s sake or compromising quality for improved margins, as the bikes are still manufactured in the UK.

Having ridden my housemate's Brompton before it was nicked I know they are a dream to ride with a surprising amount of acceleration and top speed.



Any information on the producer and director of this film would be appreciated so they can be credited appropriately, thanks.

This is such a brilliantly conceived showroom and workspace, so many companies out there could take note of this ethos.
