Don’t miss the chance to kick off the bike season with this beautiful story of a Canadian cycling legend.

Giuseppe Marinoni is an artist in the world of cycling. His frames are highly regarded, and have been used by some of the most successful cyclists in Canada, including gold medal winning cyclist, Jocelyn Lovell. An accomplished cyclist in his youth, Marinoni immigrated to Canada from Italy after taking part in cycling races in Quebec. He quickly became a champion, but when his career reached its natural end, he turned to creating bikes as a living. At the age of 75, Marinoni decides to try and break the world record for distance cycled in an hour while reluctantly allowing his training to be filmed.

What we get is a “lovable curmudgeon… whose passion for cycling and bikes is inspiration enough, proving that any product created with love and dedication is a product worth more than someone could ever pay. Watching him train for his world record attempt is even more inspiring, showing not only his love for cycling, but how we can always strive to achieve something greater, regardless of our age. Marinoni has passion in everything he does, and it’s something that leaps from the screen and into your soul, giving viewers the kind of lust for life that Marinoni always seems to have.” – William Brownridge, Toronto’s Film Scene
