This is a story about a wonderful vintage bicycle that captured the imagination of a young boy and created a life long friendship between two very different people.

It’s the same friendship that inspired an exciting adventure some thirty years later, as a middle aged man and the bicycle embark on an unusual pilgrimage, travelling from the suburbs of Australia to the beautiful villages of Provence and France’s legendary Mont Ventoux – the world’s most feared cycling mountain. ‘The Blue Bike’ is an inspiring salute to friendship and a testimony that life should be embraced.
