Cyclists! Help needed for new documentary

[Dragonfly Productions]

Dragonfly Film and Television Productions, the award winning producers of One Born Every Minute, are producing a new documentary for a major broadcaster about the effect that heavy snowfall has on our daily lives. Using footage shot by the Great British public, we will paint a complete portrait of how Britain reacts when the snow hits. From frozen pipes and closed roads, to snowball fights and school closures we want to feature every aspect of Britain in the big freeze.

We would like to invite the cycling community to become involved so if you would like to be part of this ambitious project then all you need to do is get filming. Whether you’re building snowmen, cycling to work or riding up a mountain, if you’re affected by snow at all this winter then we want you to film your experiences and send the footage to us. You can film on whatever camera you have, including on your smartphone.

Right. I'll have to charge my bullet cam and film how I commute around all the abandoned/stuck/queuing vehicles when we get a couple of centimetres of snow.

bit ambitious waiting for that much snow - usually they get stuck in less than a cm...

I fancy commuting in the snow. It will give me a chance to use my MTB on the streets. If your could arrange a good dumping, that would be great!

 

[middleagecyclist]

Oh. Hang on just one goddamn pickin minute though! If we show how easy it is for us in the snow then some motorists will hate us all the more. You are going to be even handed aren't you?

but we don't get heavy snowfall, as a country we just seem poor at dealing with the occasional downpour. The right clothing and tyres & snow is business as usual, just a bit whiter.

does that mean I have to have white lycra instead of black?
Is it too late for the Santa list?

What a brilliant idea for a television programme.

Is this what you call entertainment at Dragonfly? Getting people to film your programme free of charge, then all you have to do is a bit of editing and put a VO on it, then broadcast it on a channel that no one watches?

Did you all get a media degrees at college? How did you all come up with this brilliant idea, you lazy sods, why don't you try and come up with something original to make, something that folk might actually want to watch.

Think you would have more success doing a show about floods and seeing how that effects cyclists

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

I want to see a programme dedicated to 4X4 drivers attempting to ford flooded roads. You could call it ''The Wa(te)r on Britain's Roads''

Riding through the white stuff is much better than riding through "a good dumping". Easier clean afterwards as well.

Snow doesn't really affect me. I simply revert to the Trance X and give the commuter a breather.

Been fording a lot round here, but as we have a proper 4x4 and not some Korean or Malaysian excuse its a doddle. It's either that or wait for the Carncil to build a bridge.

the bigger question is whether or not you know how to drive it. I used to be able to get my Audi A4 quattro up a certain hill to work in thick snow (think front bumper clearing the snow away) where 4x4's had been abandoned or where in trouble, so having the vehicle is not necessarily the answer..

 

[Drago]

Yes, I've got my dibble off road ticket.

Before you make that one, pop over to the Netherlands and make a film obout how the Dutch get around.
Compare and contrast.
Please.
