Video – The Capital Trail (Scotland)

I love this one for a lot of reasons. First, it’s an adventure, and it’s a well-crafted one, because it happens close the riders’ homes. It’s also well-contained temporally. I’d call it a mini-epic, where the effort is only 24hrs, but what goes into those 24hrs is a LOT.

Also, Scotland, which is a beautiful place. That’s not a controversial statement.

I also appreciate that they fit the whole thing into a 12-minute film, and I think you will too. Brought to us by Tweed Valley Bikes.

Robot fell in love with cycling watching the older neighborhood kids ride wheelies down the street. It was the early '70s, and Evel Knievel was jumping motorcycles over buses. Everything seemed possible. From that moment, the die was cast (iacta alia est).

He studied philosophy in college, of course he did. That's what idealists do, romantics, kids who think there must be a better way. At the same time, bikes were carrying him everywhere, delivering all of life's gifts and surprises. Occasionally he crashed and didn't mind.
