Midweek Mini Movies 136

Here we go again at the halfway point towards the weekend. It’s Wednesday which must mean Midweek Mini Movies!

This week’s offerings include South African singlespeeds, Zane Caldera, pump tracks, prepping for winter and Projekt Roam in summer desert loveliness. Moto madness, Harry mania, skate and probably the wierdest bike you’ll see this year.

Grab a brew and get on it.

Was it a dream? Was it a folk-tale? Did these protagonists come here to fight on old battlegrounds or did they come in celebration? Perhaps they just looking for a journey, a chance to travel back to the start, to rediscover their love for the bike.
Inspired by TS Eliot’s Little Gidding, this short film tells the story of the 2012 Single Speed World Champs held in Africa for the first time. A film by Sinamatella Productions

New pedal-free bicycle relies on running momentum

A new bicycle designed by German engineers does away with pedals and instead requires the rider to run or walk to generate speed.
Dubbed the “Fliz Bike,” it is actually based on the world’s first bicycle, the “Laufrad,” which also operated without pedals and was created by German inventor Karl Drais in 1817.

Thanks to everyone that sent in suggestions this week. If you’ve seen or made anything you reckon should be up here next time, the address is, as ever: newsdesk@singletrackworld.com.

And remember: Keep feeling fascination, yeah?
