Brief Explanation

The film opens tight on what looks like a normal bicycle. We hear… “This is a terrible bike.” “This bike has Multiple Sclerosis.” The film is a making of “the bike”. Introducing us to Paralympian gold medallist Carole Cooke and the team of neurologists, physiotherapists, bike mechanics, sport scientists and people living with MS to build a bike. We are walked through the building of the bike. We witnessing teeth being removed from its gears to mimic spasticity. The grind of the cassette served to create a whirring sound suffered by many people with MS. Ball bearings were tucked inside the handlebars to create pins and needles. The frame being made heavy and the wheels being buckled to cause fatigue and offset balance forcing the rider to constantly fight against it just to keep it straight. The seat being twisted to made hard to simulate numbness and pain.
