What Is Chasing the Sun?

In 1973, a professor in a little-known American university set out to discover the most energy efficient creature on earth: turns out, it's a human being on a bicycle! The experiment has since entered into legend and is now more relevant than ever before.

The new film from two-time BAFTA-winning director Michael B. Clifford, Chasing The Sun explores extraordinary personal stories of ordinary cyclists chasing the sun, revealing the power of the humble bicycle to transform lives and help save the planet.

Chasing The Sun also features contributions from broadcaster and ITV's voice of the Tour de France Ned Boulting, author and blogger Jools Walker, Turner Prize-winning artist Sir Richard Long and four-time Mountain Bike World Champion Tracy Moseley.
