4.00 PM : Movie: Godspeed

The Race Across America

After the lecture by Stig, we would like to invite all visitors to see the movie “Godspeed – The Race Across America”.

The inspiration to overcome breathes life into “GODSPEED” as it chronicles a first-time race team – Jerry Schemmel, noted author, speaker and sportscaster for the Colorado Rockies and Brad Cooper, a four-time Iron Man triathlete – as they compete 24 hours a day for seven days covering 3,000 miles of deserts, mountains and plains overcoming physical exhaustion, sleep deprivation and extreme mental anguish competing in the world’s most difficult cycling race – The Race Across America.

Pedaling 168 hours non-stop across 12 states from the Pacific to the Atlantic Oceans, Schemmel and Cooper embark on the journey of a lifetime – a race that would provide an extreme test of physical endurance and dependence on faith, all for the greater purpose and personal calling to raise money for the orphans of Haiti.

The movie is included in your entrance to Aarhus Bike Show 2019. Just show the bracelet when you enter.

“Godspeed” is shown in CinemaxX in Bruuns Galleri next to Centralværkstedet. The movie is in English without subtitles.

1.00 PM : Behind Handlebars

The world seen from the bike

In 2015 Oliver Emil Andersen began the photo project Behind Handlebars. Every day he posted a photo on Instagram from his life as cyclist with the tag #behindhandlebars.

Nowadays Behind Handlebars is worldwide phenomenon with global followers from 163 countries. They also ride together and share their bike life on Instagram.

Oliver also travels around the world and checks out the cities he visits. Many unique photos have become decorative posters. What began as a simple idea and vision is now a full time job.

3.00 PM : Movie: Moser

The movie is introduced by Ole Ritter, who was a teammate to Francesco Moser for many years.

Francesco Moser is still the Italian cyclist with the greatest number of victories. A legend on two wheels, born and raised in Trentino but renowned all over the world.

The troupe making the documentary dedicated to his amazing career followed his progress over the course of a year, on his familiar terrain. In doing so they recount not only the champion himself, but also create a unique portrait of the man, his family and the community of Palù di Giovo, a small town in the province of Trento, where he was born and where he has always returned; an unusual portrait of the great champion, who talks about his life and career in an unexpected way.

An exceptional human adventure that documents the cycling legend’s deep bond with his homeland and retraces his feats, in the company of Merckx, Saronni and Hinault.

The movie is included in your entrance to Aarhus Bike Show 2019. Just show the bracelet when you enter.

“Moser – Scacco al Tempo” is shown in CinemaxX in Bruuns Galleri next to Centralværkstedet. The movie is in Italian with English subtitles.
