“Classic! Beautifully told and emotionally strong, an intimate and well shot profile. The filmmakers choice to have John’s voice and ambient sound carry us through the experience instead of scoring it. The threads on labour, family, passing down skills and the purpose of bikes where thoughtfully presented.”
“My best film is the documentary short Strictly Two Wheel, Ania Freer’s lovingly intimate bio of an older Jamaican man lucky enough to find what young people everywhere now call “their passion” and to work at it – bicycle repair – for all of his long and happy life. How much is caught and revealed in the time it takes to buy and eat a doubles is phenomenal.”
