In April of 2006 I began filming my twice-weekly cycle journey to work. This was a round trip of approximately 11 miles from Forest Hill to Clapham South and back again. I attached a Super-8 camera, set to take single frames, to the front of my bike and rigged up a cable release, which allowed me to shoot a single frame every time I switched gear. This was continued until I ran out of film.

The film is a condensation of random incidents, of subtle changes in attitude ultimately the very essence of the journey. It compresses 88 days (or slightly more accurately nearly 4400 minutes, given that each journey takes roughly 25 minutes) into nearly 3 minutes.
