AWOL X TRANSCONTINENTAL Vimeo stillVideo trailer: AWOL X TRANSCONTINENTAL documentary follows Specialized riders from London to Istanbul
Specialized launched its AWOL adventure bike earlier this month, just as two riders who had helped develop it, Recep Yeşil and Erik Nohlin, were taking part in the Quick Energy TransContinental Race – and both were followed by a film crew for a feature length documentary to be released later this year.
Here’s the trailer for what the documentary’s makers, Leipzig-based e r t z u i ° Film, describe as “a wild and inspirational journey in so many unexpected ways” as they followed the riders on their 3,100 kilometre journey from London to Istanbul, crossing 14 national borders on the way.
AWOL x TRANSCONTINENTAL | Trailer (Full documentary coming late 2013) from e r t z u i ° film on Vimeo.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
That looks like a "how dare you be anywhere near the middle of the road" warning to me.

Forget lights and navigation. Added to that, it's too bloody large and will affect steering when packed. Don't see a reasonable use-case.

I have alao noticed that and pollitics seems to be the cause quite often.

Ghost-bikes in prominent places are a London 'favourite' since no human is at additional risk and there's plenty of time for the stationary traffic...
How about air bags on the outside, but not on the inside?
Could be. They've also splashed out and repainted some give way markings where redways cross roads, some at junctions where cyclists often don't....
