Chasing The Sun documentary on tour

A documentary movie about the annual Chase The Sun rides, and the wider history and impact of bikes, premieres next month.

Chase The Sun is a 200+ mile ride, from sunrise to sunset, taking place each 2 June, now with four routes across England, Scotland, Ireland and Italy.

The documentary, by two-times BAFTA-winning director Michael B Clifford, explores the "extraordinary personal stories of ordinary cyclists chasing the sun, revealing the power of the humble bicycle to transform lives and help save the planet".

Described by broadcaster and cycling champion Jeremy Vine as: "Inspiring and very enjoyable! A pinch of astrophysics with a host of endearing characters", the film features contributions from broadcaster Ned Boulting, author and blogger Jools Walker, Turner Prize-winning artist Sir Richard Long and four-times mountain bike world champion Tracy Moseley - as well as music by This Is The Kit.

Chasing The Sun premieres at The Ritzy, Brixton, London, on 18 April and will tour the country with Q&A screenings featuring talks with members of the film’s production team and contributors. Catch it in Winchester, Southampton, Bristol, Bath, Oxford, Cambridge, Brighton, Malvern, Birmingham, Liverpool and Edinburgh. Book tickets here.
