A look behind the curtain: while in the West it is mainly Iranian customs and war rhetoric that are familiar, enduro pros Anita and Caro Gehrig experience open-minded people, hospitality, great interest in the West and, last but not least, an unconditional passion for mountain biking. And there is a reason for this: the bike is the vehicle to freedom, because there are no moral guardians on the trails. Freeride, or rather free ride, thus takes on another dimension in the land of the mullahs.

Even if you can hardly communicate with words, on a mountain bike you understand each other. Free Riding Iran is a film about courage, passion and mutual inspiration on two wheels.

In collaboration with Halsundbeinbruch Film, the Gehrig Twins realized their long-planned video project in May 2018. The result is a 32-minute documentary film that celebrated its premiere at the UCI World Championships in Lenzerheide in front of a magnificent audience. After around four months, the wait is over: the film is now available "on demand" on Vimeo. The film was supported by Red Bull and Samsung Switzerland.

In addition, 20 percent of all revenue generated by video-on-demand will be invested in the promotion of women's bike projects in countries where women riding freely are not accepted.
