Made in Sheffield: Field Cycles

Field Cycles is a collaboration between friends from various craft, design and engineering backgrounds. The group’s unique skill set combines in a shared passion that treats the fabrication of a bicycle as an exploration of craft, aesthetics and function.
As part of the Year of Making, Sheffield-based filmmaker Shaun Bloodworth was asked to produce two films celebrating the skill and craft of two Sheffield companies, Field Cycles and Mamnick. These films were commissioned to be displayed in the Made in Sheffield exhibition and form part of the city-wide celebration of the excellence and innovation of Sheffield makers.
Sadly, during the commission Shaun became unwell; his condition worsened throughout the year to the point where he was unable to continue work. On Thursday 15 September Shaun passed away.
While Shaun was in hospital he asked his friend and collaborator, Museums Sheffield’s Digital Producer Alan Silvester, to complete the films he started. These films have been created from the scribbled storyboards and notes Shaun wrote in hospital.

Love high quality steel bicycles!
Love my surley steamroller! (brakeless)
Bikes often get rated 1-10 but steamroller just feels so much better than 10
It feels magical.
