Beyond The Peloton – Cervélo
0Wow, I just finished watching all the episodes of Cervélo’s documentary series Beyond The Peloton and was blown away - it just makes you like the Cervélo brand more. Beyond the Peloton is a 10 episodes (really hoping for more) documentary shot by the film makers Joe Finkleman and Booker Sim in High Definition and released on the web for free. The series follows the creation and journey of the first racing season for the newly formed Cervélo TestTeam.
I don’t know why we haven’t posted about this earlier. I know Chris and Clinton have watched them all and when Chris was like “I wish BMC would make a docu. like this so that I would feel more connected with my BMC” - I knew it must be worth a watch.
As stated in the first episode, the films are all about insights and behind the scenes of creating a pro cycling team. It’s not just a rehash of the races that you see on TV. I really liked seeing the before the race team meetings, deciding who goes in the breakaway, the strategies that were planned and that a coffee in the team bus was a special treat. After watching it you get a sense you know the team riders and you just want to ride a Cervélo especially when Haussler makes comments like “I don’t want any other team riding Cervélo bikes because then they would have the advantage we have.”
All the epsiodes are still available for download here. Go get them while you can.

Smart Move - Embacher Collection
1Stumbled across this awesome collection of bikes the Embacher Collection. I am not sure if it is a perosnal collection or a museums. There is also a book “Smart Move” which details 50 bicycles from the group. One of the stand out bikes is a Bob Jackson tricycle! This is definitely worth a look, I picked out a couple of bikes after the jump.
Update: From the Smart Move website some more information on the collection:
“In his job, Michael Embacher is confronted with design on a daily basis. In the last five years he has built up one of the most remarkable bicycle collections which stems from his interest in the bicycle as an exciting artefact of daily life, an efficient mode of transport and an individually customisable object.
The almost 200 roadworthy bikes and the curiosity of the objects makes the Embacher collection unique. Mostly when collectors run riot they happen across just a corner of the bicycle’s history - but here design and fascination with the rare, the strange - and also heroic failures - are at the forefront of the collection.”
