  • Every four years cyclists from all over the world come to France for the legendary Paris-Brest-Paris bicycle marathon. They have to ride 1230 km in no more than under 90 hours. A grueling fight against hills, cold and exhaustion. Brevet is the movie about this fight.

    Michael (36) completed three Ironman Thriathlons. For the last two years the engineer has focused on long distance bicycle riding. 600 km at a stretch has been his maximum. At Paris-Brest-Paris he wants to go beyond his personal limits.

    Sina (37) has lived in Paris for ten years. She participated in Paris-Brest-Paris once before in 2011. She was the fifth-fastest woman then, with a time of 68.5 hours. This time she wants to be even faster – on a steel bike which is the same age as her.

    Claus (72) is a legend in the German randonneur scene. 24 years ago, in 1991, he was one of only two German starters at Paris-Brest-Paris. Ever since he hasn´t missed a single race. It is his 7th start at PBP and he is determined that it will be his 7th finish.

    As it is a few months yet I thought I might good to give everyone notice that I am thinking of rapping up the Bicycle Film Society in June. This will be the last show in the current season and will also be our 82nd show. The film society will have been going for Seven and a half years then and I have done all 82 shows even when I was not really feeling well enough so would like to put my feet up or do something different.

    Keep on cycling
    Adam
