The Last Rider (screening until Thursday 3 August)
The former follows American cyclist Greg LeMond who propelled himself to recognition with wins first for the National Team of France, and then unexpectedly for himself in 1986, when a yellow jersey win shocked and thrilled the world (turning some ‘friends’ into adversaries). The documentary shows LeMond representing the world of athletics at its best, and replays one of the greatest comeback stories in sports history. Buy tickets
The Freedom Machine.
The Freedom Machine interrogates the ways women have used the bicycle to find freedom and independence on the road, the race track and beyond. With a soundtrack by sound artist Cat Hawthorn, the film by emerging curator Jo Reid uses archival footage to entwine her personal experiences as a cyclist with the wider struggles and joys women across the world have discovered from travelling on two wheels.
