This is a short documentary film about The Bristol Bike Project, which was set up in December 2008 by James Lucas and Colin Fan. The Bristol Bike Project aims to provide free bicycles to underprivileged groups that would not otherwise have the opportunity to own a bicycle.
The film tells the story of the Bike Project from the perspective of Dahir (from Somalia) and Aziz (from Afghanistan), who are both applying for political asylum to stay in the UK, and draws together the different threads of cycling, recycling and community that The Bristol Bike Project represents.
