There is a glut of film festivals in London that celebrate culture, art and love to name a few but a unique offering is definitely a programme of events dedicated to bicycles.
The London Bicycle Film Festival 2013 is in its 13th year and celebrates culture on two wheels from 45 cities from across the globe.
It brings together creative communities from the areas of fashion, music, art and design and various cycling communities.
The story behind the festival is compelling with founding festival director Brendt Barbur getting hit by a bus while riding his bike in New York City.
This negative experience he turned into a positive one in 2001 by starting the festival as a platform to celebrate the bicycle through music, art and film.
Bicycling is becoming popular across the world as a choice for people wanting to improve their health or aiding the environment
