'Bicycle Thieves' with Jonathan Ellsworth & Simon Stewart

‘Bicycle Thieves’ is widely regarded as one of the greatest movies ever made, so we thought it would be a fitting way to introduce our first bike film on Blister Cinematic. Jonathan is joined by BLISTER senior bike editor, Simon Stewart, to talk about the film, why it still matters, and why they believe that everyone who loves bikes ought to watch it.
