Me and My Bike
The Suddabys took theirs on honeymoon. Chris and Rachel sold everything to take theirs around the world, and Mr and Mrs Pinkerton have so many they don't know what to do with them. This film takes an affectionate look at a long-standing love affair with the bicycle. At 88,
Charles Darvill goes camping with his. George still builds them even though his wife was tragically killed on one. And
John Woodburn rode his 800 miles from Land's End to
John O'Groats in record-breaking time.
