Pedal

‘Pedal’ is the brilliant short film created by Emily Dobbins-Dale using footage shot during our 1,600 km bicycle ride from the UK to Slovakia on £30 bicycles. The video features myself, Leah, Daniel, and Elliot (my brother who walked across Iceland with me). It is part one of a three part series that has now been screened on UK television. You can also watch part two, Paddle (pirates of the Danube), and part three, Separate Tracks (hitchhiking Eastern Europe and parting ways).

I am eternally grateful (and envious) of such creative skills.

Please take a few moments to watch the movie and if you like it, share it with the world (Vimeo ‘like’).

Could you cycle 1,600 km on an old bicycle? Yes you could. All of you. If you want to.

If you would like to get in contact with Emily and her brilliant video skills, you email her at edobbinsdale@hotmail.co.uk, follow / contact her through Twitter: emd_d, or check out her website, Emily Dobbins-Dale dot com.

The music was created by Josh Woodward.

Thank-you Emily, you superstar.

The video above on Youtube was initially uploaded on Vimeo.

    Beautiful! Reminded me of this – in Latvian it is called “Velomūzika” or Cycling-music (velosipēds in Latvian is bicycle). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aq3aaVNZWI

    It is a Latvian musician who joined by other musicians and poets went on a bicycle journey around the countrysides to play in random places for everyone who was ready to listen (even just a couple of people came) as well as to take anyone who wanted to join their journey. He is also expressing a lot of common things you did and pretty much I guess it is always about the freedom. Too bad the subtitles are not available but I guess the idea is clear. Good luck in the rest of journey, it is great to follow!

    Cheers,
    M.

      It looked like an interesting project. I started to watch the video, but sadly I (of course) became confused by all the Latvian.
