Dain Zaffke endured a one-in-a-million type of cancer, a lost lung, six rounds of aggressive chemo, and a paralyzed vocal cord. But it wasn’t until Dain’s doctor told him he had three months left to live that he experienced a profound shift in perspective. Two years later, Dain is living cancer-free, yet hasn’t forgotten the deepest lesson from that trauma: to prioritize family, friends, and the things that bring him joy. This film illustrates how cycling and surfing remind Dain—and should remind all of us—to appreciate the beauty of our natural world.

The film traces the origin and growth of All Bodies on Bikes, challenging narrow, performance-driven definitions of cycling and expanding who gets to call themselves a cyclist. Rooted in joy, inclusion, and collective care, All Bodies on Bikes proves that these values aren’t radical: they’re essential.
