Fifteen years ago, ‘Life Cycles’ was released and changed the perception of what a Mountain Bike film could be. Today, Simon and Dylan talk about this fantastic film, one of Simon’s personal favorites, and how it combines art, breathtaking cinematography, beautiful riding, with a story that weaves it all together with a message that’s more relevant today than when it first came out.
