Name: Off the Ground
Duration: P00H04M58S
Description: The body remembers. When I pedal I’m 8, I’m 18, I’m every age I’ve ever been. The action of pedalling is so familiar. It brings back memories of bike rides past; of people, places and impressions long gone. This idea came to me on a cycle path in Central France as I watched my son fly past me on his bike and remembered myself at his age. Time flies.

1: Off the Ground
‘Time can slip and slide like changing down the gears
And when I’m on a bicycle ride, I’m unravelling the years’
