If the various treats of Cyclomania don’t leave you all pedalled out, then head over to the Custard Factory Theatre where alongside our bicycle bonanza we’ll be showing Stephen Auerbach’s magnificent documentary Bicycle Dreams, in association with local emporium PROVIDE. Many people dream of driving from coast to coast in the USA, but can you imagine doing that on a bike? In twelve days? This film charts such a journey, providing a compelling and emotional insight into the minds of the world’s ultimate athletes as they tackle the Race Across America, a 3000-mile endurance event that has our thighs burning just at the thought of it.
