ABOUT STORIES OF BIKE
This whole thing started, as most personal projects start I suppose, out of frustration. Back in 2012, I had just seen two fantastic short films “Solus” by Lossa Engineering and “Chabott Engineering (Shinya Kimura)” by Henrik Hansen and was simultaneously blown away how well these films were made and frustrated that there weren’t more like them.
Soon after, I found the occasional short bike film. But they tended to be much the same. About a builder, working with his hands and why he or she builds and rides the bikes they do. I could never find a video that went further back than that. I wanted to hear their story that got them there.
Cam Elkins
Founder & Director, Stories of Bike
Not just builders, but every day riders and their bikes. Their histories, their dreams, challenges, loves and losses. I wanted to see these stories and how riding a bike makes it all better.
But I’m no film maker. I had made a few family videos and had a camera that could shoot video. It wasn’t until a series of cataclysmic events that drove me to decide that, if no one else was going to make the videos that I wanted to see, I would.
So I created this video series. Just so I could see your bikes and hear your stories. And 10 years later, here we are bigger and better than ever before. This is Stories of Bike.
