The film follows the French Paris-Roubaix spring classic, notorious for the hellish paves or cobbled roads of the north "which are no longer used for traffic but only for transporting cattle - and for cycle races". We are there from the dawn preparations and rituals on the outskirts of Paris and through the rigours of the race with special focus on a number of prominent cyclists to the final outcome on the Roubaix cycle track - followed by the filthy riders taking their showers. There is also an eye for life among the spectators and the media event as such. The film alternates among different kinds of shot with a view to establishing the most suitable view of the narrative: shots from motorcycles, which are able to convey the motion of the race and provide close ups of the riders in the style of television cycle race reporting; fixed cameras stationed at strategically important points along the route, where viewers can watch riders passing in real time and thus gain a clear overview of the distance between the leaders and the main field: and the Olympian eye of the helicopter shots.

“A bicycle is a two wheeled, human-powered vehicle, with one wheel behind the other.“
The first track of the bicycle goes back to 1493 where Leonardo da Vinci made a sketch of a very advanced bicycle. This is not proven to be true though. So is there many uncertainties on when and who invented the
bicycles improvements along it's history.
00:05 – 00:12
1790, A Frenchman named Comte Mede de Sivrac says to be the first to attach two wheels in each end of a piece of wood. This creation is referred as “Velocifere” or “Celerifere”
1817, The German Karl Drais von Sauerbronn built the first steerable bicycle, the “Draisine”. He’s particular model is not shown in this animation though.
00:23 – 00:25
1818, In England, Denis Johnson improved the draisine. He’s model, “Dandy Horse” had bigger wheels and was lighter.
00:30 – 00:32
1839, Scottish, Kirkpatrick MacMillan is believed to be the inventor of the first pedal-driven bicycle, inspired by the locomotive.
00:34 – 00:36
1866, Pierre Lallement’s velocipede “The Boneshaker” is one of the first bicycles with pedals attach to the front wheel. He’s fellow landsman Pierre Michau invented a similar model around the same time and it is unclear who really was the first to put pedals on a wheel, although it is quite certain it’s from France.
00:38-00:39
1869, The Frenchman Eugene Meyer has the credit for inventing the first high-wheeled bicycle, the famous “Penny-Farthing”. English, James Starley did a lot of further improvements on the high-wheelers and in 1870 he invited the “Ariel”.
00:43 – 00:44
1880-85, G. W. Pressey invented the “American Star” bicycle followed with the “Pony Star Bicycle” by William S. Kelley
00:46 – 00:47
1879, Harry J. Lawson’s bicyclette was one of the first chain driven bicycles.
00:49 – 00:50
1891, W. Scantlebury
00:51 – 00:52
1885, J.K. Starley “Rover Safety Bicycle”
1890 C. D. Rice

Still 'The impossible ...' gives a fine look in to the world of pro cycling, and a equally fine portrait of danish rider Ole Ritter, and his relationship to teammates on the Bianchi-team.
Most notable is a scene where Ritter defends himself to international reporters, and use Leth to get the right message out.

"A glorious study of a rider who dominated an entire cycling generation... A must-see for cyclists of all ages. It's inspirational - a study in determination..."
La Course En Tete - Head Of the Field (1974)
The global fixed gear scene is in its golden era with races testing riders skill and commitment as they set the urban landscape as the ultimate space where fixed gear culture is being defined. The 1896 CMRR is taking a historic Olympic race of cycling's infant years and is trying to project Athens as a city on the world map of this incredible scene.
Congrats to all participating riders. Thanks to Francesco, Raffa and Alexandr for visiting.

Fondé en 2008, RnR est la réunion de personnalités d'horizons divers inspirées aussi bien par l'univers du skate des 80's que par Marcel Duchamp, l'univers des Hell's Angels ou la carrière de Bernard Hinault.
Leur blog (rocknrollin.org) fait désormais partie du paysage cycliste online (env. 700 000 visites uniques depuis leur création).
En 2009, après avoir organisé une série de rides sauvages déguisés, des projections de films (Council of Doom et Death Pedal), des Rolla contests (Goldsprint), ils décident de se lancer dans un nouveau projet : "RocknRollin Classiques" qui tentera de revisiter les classiques du cyclisme mais en pignon fixe.
(Ils sont les premiers à revisiter les classiques en pignon fixe: Paris-Roubaix en 2009, Milan San-Remo en 2011, etc.)
Passionnés par l'héritage cycliste ils participent à L'Eroica, à L'Anjou Vélo Vintage et à La Patrimoine depuis 2010.
// Paris-Roubaix : Le Film.
Il ne s'agit pas là de compétition puisque le périple est étalé sur deux jours, mais plutôt d'un pèlerinage en terre sacrée.
Partis sur la route pour plus de 260kms en terrain hostile (53kms de pavés), peu préparés, avec des vélos inadéquats, chacun devra s'adapter à l'autre pour que le groupe survive jusqu'au bout.
Ils sont accompagnés de leur "équipe image" composée de Julien Rideau (Réalisateur/Monteur), Greg Ros (Réalisateur, dir. photo), Yann Ros (Photographe) et de Lorenzo Savarino (Vélorama) qui assure le Back Up camion.
Il en résulte une magnifique collection d'images prises sur le vif par Yann Ros et la réalisation d'un film qui dépasse l'idée première de garder un simple souvenir.

Des interviews de personnalités diverses viennent enrichir le film et apportent des informations sur le contexte de cette course mythique en créant un rythme narratif qui accompagne les cyclistes jusqu'à Roubaix.

This film is about the people of S.F.G.(Seoul Fixed Gear) and Seoul city. This story shows the people who are trying to blaze a trail for fixed gear in Seoul, a city in which bicycle culture has not yet been defined. The people in the film range from graffiti artists, to film directors, to T-shirt designers, to B-boys, swimmers and bicycle mechanics.
It shows their individual passion for riding fixed.
Why do we ride in a city which cannot fully protect us by law? In a city in which cars rule the road so unrelentingly?...
The answer is simple.
