In the grip of 1896’s bicycle mania, one man dares to defy gravity and expectations.
Based on a true story, Robert Vandervoort, an unemployed millwright, is about to attempt the impossible. His audacious goal? To ride a bicycle around a complete vertical ring-a feat that the press deems suicidal and his own family and friends dismiss as lunacy.
But for Vandervoort, this is more than just a death-defying stunt. It’s his chance to prove his worth, to silence the doubters, and to carve his name into the annals of history.
As “Diavolo, the Sensation of the Century,” he’ll risk everything on a single, heart-stopping ride. He will either triumph against the laws of physics and the limits of human courage, or his dream will end in disaster.
In the dizzying world of late 19th-century daredevilry, the bicycle reigns supreme, and one man’s obsession could redefine the possible. In the race between glory and gravity, there’s no middle ground.
