This whole thing started, as most personal projects start I suppose, out of frustration.
Back in 2012, I had just seen two fantastic short films "Solus" by Lossa Engineering and "Chabott Engineering (Shinya Kimura)" by Henrik Hansen and was simultaneously blown away how well these films were made and frustrated that there weren't more like them.
Soon after, I found the occasional short bike film. But they tended to be much the same. About a builder, working with his hands and why he or she builds and rides the bikes they do. I could never find a video that went further back than that. I wanted to hear their story that got them there.
Not just builders, but every day riders and their bikes. Their histories, their dreams, challenges, loves and losses. I wanted to see these stories and how riding a bike makes it all better.
But I'm no film maker. I had made a few family videos here and there and had a camera that could shoot video. It wasn't until a series of catalytlismic events that drove me to decide that, if no one else was going to make the videos that I wanted to see, I would.
So I created this video series. Just so I could see your bikes and hear your stories.
The Stories of Bike team is pretty small. It's just me and my youngest brother, Jack. I seek the stories, produce, shoot and edit while my brother writes original score. It takes about 3 weeks to produce an episode with 3-4 days of shooting and 2 weeks of editing and music writing.
It's a big effort for two guys who live in two separate states to do, but we have some great help from every rider who features in an episode and the Sydney Cafe Racers, who have been a huge source of ongoing support.
This is Stories of Bike.

"Don't fence me in" Written and sung in 1944 by Cole Porter.
Oh, give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above
Don't fence me in
Let me ride thru the wide-open country that I love
Don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever, but I ask you please
Don't fence me in
Don't fence me in
Just turn me loose
Let me straddle my old saddle underneath the western skies
On my cayuse
Let me wander over yonder till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Gaze at the moon until I loose my senses
I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
Don't fence me in
Give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above
Don't fence me in
Let me ride thru the wide-open country that I love
Don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever, but I ask you please
Don't fence me in
Don't fence me in
Just turn me loose
Let me straddle my old saddle underneath the western skies
On my cayuse
Let me wander over yonder till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Gaze at the moon until I loose my senses
I Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
Don't fence me in
Don't fence me in
Don't fence me in
Don't fence me in
Don't fence me in
Don't fence me in
Don't fence me in
Don't fence me in
Don't fence me in
