Um filme bom de Ciclismo é "O Escocês Voador" (The Flying Scotsman)

Também gostei deste filme. Tem um outro bem antigo mas é legalzinho "Breaking Away".

A Viagem, de Fernando Solanas

Não assisti o filme.. mas rolou num festival aqui em SP faz pouco tempo, qdo vi a foto de um cara viajando de bike no folheto programação do festival fiquei doido.. já tinha passado a exibição,.. e de graça !!

O "O Escocês Voador" é ótimo. E ainda mais legal para quem acompanhava o ciclismo naquela época. Lembro quando sairam as notícias sobre a quebra do recorde da hora pelo Obree, com uma bike feita em casa, e ainda resaltavam: "usando peças de uma máquina de lavar". Sempre fiquei tentando imaginar que tipo de peça ele conseguiu aproveitar!

E o American Flyers é muito massa. Acho que foi depois desse filme que eu realmente passei a curtir bikes. Ele força bastante a amizade com o carinha ganhando a prova em cima dos profissionais, mas o visual da prova é matador!!

Um filme, que apesar de não ter a ver com ciclismo, mas que gostei muito foi o ET. Aquela cena do pessoal fugindo com suas bikes aro 20 e com o ET na cestinha me emociona até hoje.

Pessoal,
Encontrei um filme que não está nessas relações. Chama-se Gino Bartali, L'intramontabile (O Eterno) Abaixo uma descrição (em inglês).

The movie is titled:Gino Bartali - L’intramontabile (IMDB link) and follows Gino Bartali’s life as one of the great Italian Cycling Champions of the 40s and 50s. Gino Bartali and Fausto Coppi were the two main Italian protagonists of the 40s and 50s. The cyclist personal lives were followed closely since they were on the same level as movie stars in Italy.

Bartali was known the the more religious and devout Champion when compared to Fausto Coppi who was a little more freewheeling. Bartali had the right wing support while Coppi had the left. These two had a tremendous rivalry that helped inspire Italy during the post World War II era.

Bartali’s fame and influence was so great that he even prevented a civil war from breaking out in Italy when he won the Tour de France in 1948 (read more about it) which was a full ten years after his previous Tour win.

Lying in bed that night, the telephone rang for Bartali. A man of iron discipline, Bartali did not take such calls lightly. On the other end of the line was Alcide de Gaspari, a Deputy in the Italian Christian Democratic Party.
- “Gino”, he said, sounding worried, “we need you”.
Alcide seemed nervous: a few days earlier, Palmiro Togliatti, Secretary of the Communist Party had been wounded in a shooting, and Italy was on the edge of widespread civil insurrection, perhaps even a civil war.
- “Gino, we need you”
- “But what can I do? I’m here to race the next stage of the Tour de France, not to come home to Italy”
- “Exactly”, said de Gaspari. “You can do a lot by winning a stage. If you win it, it will create a diversion. It will motivate people towards happier feelings. A distraction. Believe me - we need it.”
Gino pondered what his friend had said. Earlier in the race his wife had telephoned him from Florence, after the assassination attempt on Togliatti. She had sounded deeply worried.
- “Listen”, replied Bartali. “I will do even better than that. I will win the whole race.”

Even my Grandmother still raves about the times when she would see Coppi and Bartali race near our hometown in Calabria.

The main actor does not resemble Bartali in this film which is odd since RAI were able to get a Pantani look alike and a Fausto Coppi look alike for their respective movies.

Watch the movie through RAIClick - of course it is in Italian.

Non est ad magna facilis ascensus.

Nunca vi nenhum filme de ciclismo, acho que vou baixar algum

Valeu William Buril muito obrigado !!!!!

O overdrive é bem legal, até fui atrás dos mangás impressos, pois a animação só cobre uma parte da série. No começo nem botei muita espectativa, mas depois gostei bastante. Tem com legendas em inglês ou espanhol no youtube.

andalusia no natsu também vi, é uma curta. Não gostei muito, achei que ficou meio "jogado".

Fora esse overdrive não tem mais anime sobre bicicleta? Baixei esse desenho faz um tempo mas ainda não deu tempo de assistir, muito anime pra pouco tempo. LOL

Aquele golden boy é sobre o que a história? Eu vi no youtube ele de bicicleta correndo contra uma moto, viagem total... a música Bicycle race na versão dessa Blumchen até que ficou legal pra quem gosta de tecno. Link do vídeo

O andalusia no natsu parece que está mais pra mostra como é os esquemas de corridas de ciclismo do que um desenho com história rs.

competiçoes de detinos com kevin costner

Entre os meus favoritos eu colocaria o The Coletive - Sessions (2008), Vast (2010), Virtuous (2008).

Agora se for filme americano o QuickSilver é bem legal.... Um filme de 1986 com o Kevin Bacon. Conta a vida de um investidor da bolsa, que quebra e vira entregador de encomendas sobre uma bike. Acho legal uma cena em que o cara está mechendo em um cubo e comentam a grande inovação usual... o quickrelease... Como vemos o filme é de 86. Reparem nas bikes em boa parte single speed!

Valeu!

KHS Alite 3000 - 2012, SLX/XT, Manitou R7 MRD, Everest XC, Ritchey WCS, Tompsom Elite, Maxxis Larsen Mimo.

Caraca, três classicos, os três melhores filmes sobre bike que já vi, e nunca mais vi denovo...

:

Quicksilver com o Kevin Bacon, Competição de destinos (American Flyers) com Kevin Costner e O Escocês voador (The Flying Scotsman);

Agora se o lance é filme tipo clip, a série Kranked, da Radical filmes é muito bom, tenho 8 dvds. Não sei quantos são ao todo, cada um dura em média 50 min, e são sempre filmados nos lugares mais irados do planeta. Tem muitas senas de Down Hill e de Free Hide, mas tem alguns lances de biketrial também. Vale a pena ver várias vezes, e sempre com Rock´n Roll no fundo.

http://www.radical-films.com/

o Kranked 7 é um dos que mais gosto, mas é bem dificil escolher:

Um abraço.

Um filme que eu vejo novamente de vez em nunca é o Quicksilver com o Kevin Bacon, mostra um pouco os courriers doidos lá dos EUA, mas o filme é antigo (1986).

Antigo? 1986?...

Pelo referencial da gurizada... Acho que tô ficando velho...

A próxima etapa é começar a falar só de pessoas que já morreram...

Ladrões de Bicicleta (Ladri di Biciclette, 1948)

Não é exatamente sobre ciclismo, mas a bicicleta é parte fundamental no enredo.

A história se passa logo após a Segunda Grande Guerra, com a Itália destruída e o povo passando necessidade. Ricci (Lamberto Maggiorani) consegue um emprego após muita espera. Só que esse emprego, de colador cartazes na rua, lhe pedia como obrigação uma bicicleta. Ricci e sua mulher Maria (Lianella Carell) conseguem um dinheiro para uma, possibilitando que ele realize o seu trabalho. Há também o menino Bruno (Enzo Staiola), filho do casal. Fascinado por bicicletas, o menino cai de cabeça com o pai na busca pela bicicleta que lhes foi roubada, quando Ricci trabalhava apenas em seu primeiro dia.

Direção de Vittorio de Sicca.

2 Seconds (1998) Laurie, a downhill racer gets fired because of her slight overindulgence in irresponsibility. She meets Lorenzo, a cranky, ex-racer who owns a bike shop. The two become friends.

24 Solo: One Man's Quest for a 7th World Title (2007) 24 Solo follows the gut-wrenching story of Chris Eatough on his quest for a 7th World Title in the unforgiving discipline of 24 Hour Solo mountain bike racing. In the face of increased pressure from sponsors, new competitors to the sport and a pregnant wife, Chris focuses his entire season on one race. Dark horse Australian National Champion, Craig Gordon challenges Chris to a level of intensity and exhaustion that leaves one rider with severe blood poisoning. (available from the 24 Solo web site)
60 Cycles (1965) -- Dir: Jean-Claude Labrecque The eleventh St-Laurent long-distance bicycle race, in 1965, with participants from thirteen countries, and with 2 400 km of the Québec Gaspé countryside to cover in twelve days--a course longer than those of Italy, Belgium or Spain. With the curving landscape of this most picturesque province as backdrop, you see here a sports event where the challenge seems more personal than competitive. (available from the National Film Board of Canada on VHS)
El Amateur (2000) -- Dir: Juan Bautista Stagnaro Anything is possible if you have the heart! Alberto"Pajaro" Romero (Mauricio Dayub), a young man marginalized from society, is given a shot at glory when he tries to enter the Guinness Book of Word Records: He has to peddle 130 hours on his bicycle over the course of six days, with 20-minute rests every four hours! When he's not on his bike, Alberto pals around with his best buddy Lopecito (Vando Villamil), a meatpacker, and lusts after La Mora (Alejandra Puy), an attractive circus acrobat.

Todo es posible cuando le ponemos corazón! Alberto "Pájaro" Romero, un joven marginal, es dado la oportunidad de entrar el libro Guinness de los récords mundiales al pedalear 130 horas en su bicicleta durante 6 días, descansando 20 minutos cada cuatro horas!

American Flyers (1985) Sports physician Marcus persuades his unstable brother David to come with him and train for a bicycle race across the Rocky Mountains. He doesn't tell him that he has a cerebral tumor. While David powerfully heads for the victory, Marcus has to realize that the contest is now beyond his capabilities. Features great views of the Rockies and an insight in the tactics of bicycle races. Note: Eddy Merckx is present (albeit briefly) to start the "Hell of the West" race.
Beasts of Burden (1993) -- not available It depicts the hard side of the bike messenger's life and society. It may be realism, with emphasis on the unhappy side, but it certainly makes you want to avoid that life. It shows drugs and alcohol, insufficient money, an alienated approach to living, a very hard job.
Beijing Bicycle (2001) Beijing: young men in packs, machismo, class divisions, violence, and indifference. Guei arrives from the country: toothbrushes, hotel foyers, and Qin, a rich neighbor in high heels, dazzle him. He gets a job as a messenger. The company issues him a bike, which he must pay for out of his wages. When it is stolen, Guei hunts for it. A student, Jian, has it; for him, it's the key to teen society - with his pals and with Xiao, a girl he fancies. Guei finds the bike and stubbornly tries to reclaim it in the face of great odds. But for Jian to lose the bike would mean humiliation. The two young men - and the people around them - are swept up in the youths' desperation.
Bicycle Corps: America's Black Army on Wheels (2000) At the end of the 19th century, many military experts believed that the bicycle could replace the horse as a means of transporting troops. The colored 25th Infantry was chosen to test that theory. On June 14 1897 a small group of African-American soldiers, led by white officers and accompanied by a local newspaper reporter, departed Fort Missoula, Montana. Forty-one days and over 1,900 miles later, they reached their destination--St. Louis, Missouri--after traveling over every possible type of rugged terrain and enduring every kind of bad weather. This documentary film looks at how the Bicycle Corps came into being, and details the progress and hardships of their amazing journey.
Bicycle Dreams (2009) The Race Across America is an epic, 3000-mile bicycle race from the Pacific to the Atlantic. First held in 1982, RAAM is considered the most challenging sporting event in the world. Top riders finish in under 10 days, riding over 300 miles per day and sleeping only a few hours per night. Amid the sleepless grind, riders must endure the searing heat of the Mojave Desert, the agonizing climbs and descents of the Rockies, the driving winds of the Great Plains, and the twisting switchbacks of the Appalachians before the final sprint to the finish line in Atlantic City. With little prize money at stake, the fundamental goal of the race is simply to finish, a challenge half of all riders fail to meet. (visit the Bicycle Dreams website)
Bicycle Thief (1948) Antonio Ricci, unemployed for over two years, is overjoyed when he's finally given a job putting up posters. There's a catch, though - he needs a bicycle as a requirement of the job, so he pawns the family linen to get a pawned bicycle back. He goes off to his first day's work, truly happy for the first time in years - and the title of the film gives away what happens next...
BMX Bandits (1983) -- not available Two BMX expert bikers and a friend of theirs (Kidman) become entangled with a group of bank robbers after discovering a carton of walkie-talkies.
A Boy, A Girl, and a Bike (1949) When a local cycle club, invite a couple of new members to join them, little do the club realise, that they will soon be involved in a couple of illegal bookmakers putting the squeeze on the son of one of the Members, a stolen bike, a deserting soldier on the run from the police, and a love triangle, that's bound to lead to trouble. During the late 40's and the early 50's, there seem to be hundreds of these clubs. This film shows a fascinating look at a North Country mill town, with a refreshing absence of traffic jams, yellow lines , traffic wardens, and other things we have become accustomed to seeing on our roads today.

Breaking Away (1979) One reviewer subtitled it, the Boy Who Wanted to be Italian. The Stollers only child has graduated high school and (along with three friends) must decide what to do with his life. He won a bike in the year before opening scene and has become very good at racing, winning all the local trophies. His heroes are the Cinzano racing team from Italy. He begins listening to operas, learning Italian, and finally shaving his legs to cut down wind resistance. All of this is driving his father crazy. He even pretends to be an Italian exchange student when he meets a college girl. Set in the area around Indiana University, it dwells on the alienation between the college students and the locals, who are called 'Cutters' (as in Stone Cutters). How the four Cutters take on the fraternities in the yearly bike race, earning not only the college students' respect, but their peers as well is the focal point of the film. Summary written by John Vogel. Interesting info tid-bit: One of the riders on the Italian team is Champaign-Urbana's own Chris Gutowski (who now operates VeloVacations in the sounth of France).
Breaking Away (1980 - 1981, TV series starring Shawn Cassidy) -- not available This failed TV series was a direct spinoff of the very successful movie (Barrie, Haley and Ashton continued their roles). Four buddies live in Bloomington IN, facing life as working class "cutters" in a college town. Focus is on Dave and his $1200 La Strada bike.
Contested Streets (2006) "Contested Streets" Explores the history and culture of New York City streets from pre-automobile times to the present. Central to the story is a comparison of New York to what is experienced in London, Paris and Copenhagen and how limiting automobile use has improved air quality, minimized noise pollution and enriched commercial, recreational and community interaction. London's congestion pricing scheme, Paris's BRT (bus rapid transit) and Copenhagen's bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure are all examined in depth. 57 minutes (visit the Contested Streets web-site)
La Course en Tete (Head of the Field) This outstanding film follows Belgian cycling star Eddy Merckx at the peak of his career through Europe's best races. "A glorious study of a rider who dominated an entire cycling generation... A must-see for cyclists of all ages. It's inspirational: a study in determination for some viewers and much needed classroom instruction for others. Overall, it's a fine piece of alternative entertainment." - Bicycle Guide
Crash! Straight from the WCP archives, an eye-popping, jaw-dropping show that will leave you in pain. You'll see crashes from the Tour de France, the Giro d'Italia, the Spring Classics, and even crashes from the 50s and 60s! Here are some of the worst sprint crashes ever recorded, including Abdoujaparov's unforgettable crash on the finish line of the Tour de France: he looks like a rag doll sliding accross the pavement. Plus, Jalabert's crash at the Tour, which left a policeman with a broken leg. How about Hincapie going head over heels into a ditch at Roubaix, Gianni Bugno punching a fan with his bike wheel, and Andy Hampsten punching a fan with his fist on his way up Alpe d'Huez? Eddy Merckx runs over a dog, riders run into cars, and more. In glorious color, full speed and slow motion. 85 minutes.
The Cyclist (1987, Iran) The wife of Nasim, an Afghan immigrant in Iran, is gravely ill. He needs money to pay for her care, but his day labor digging wells does not pay enough. A friend connects Nasim to a two-bit promoter who sells tickets to watch Nasim ride a bicycle continuously for a week. The promoter brings in sick and aged spectators, haranguing them to find hope in Nasim's strength. Aided by his son, who feeds him as he rides, Nasim grinds out the days and shivering nights. Local officials believe this may be a plot and Nasim may be a spy; they try to sabotage him as do those who bet he won't finish the week. Will desperation alone get Nasim the money? Is any triumph an illusion?
The Day I Became a Woman (2000, Iran) This is the story of women at three stages of life in Iran. The first part centers on a young girl on her ninth birthday who is told that she can no longer play with the boys she had been playing with only the day before because she is now a "woman". Told from the perspective of a nine year old "woman" who does not feel like or know what that label refers to, we see how devastatingly this affects both the girl and the boy with whom she had been friends. The second part is about a young woman who decides to enter a bicycle race against her husband's wishes. As first the husband and then increasing numbers of men from the village ride beside her to convince her to return home, the race begins to symbolize a freedom she desperately wants from the limitations which have been placed on her. Finally, the third part shows us an old woman who has come into some money and is now free to do what she wants. The way she chooses to use this freedom, however, makes one wonder just how free she is.
A Day Out (1972) (TV) -- not available Alan Bennett's first work for television is a beautiful, simple picture of a Halifax cycling club's outing to Bolton Abbey in the summer of 1911. It is a hot summer day, and not much happens - but the play is packed with incident as the club members from across the social spectrum interact with each other and the locals they meet. the naive optimism is countered by a brief epitaph in 1919, as the survivors of the World War commemorate the dead. The black and white drama is doubly nostalgic, not only with the near perfect portrait of 1911 Yorkshire, but also of the high-quality early efforts of Bennett and Stephen Frears at the beginning of their careers over 30 years ago. Well worth watching. (Dir: Stephen Frears)
Emmanuel's Gift (2005) (Doc) This film chronicles the life of Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah, a young Ghanaian man born with a severely deformed right leg, who today, against incalculable odds, is opening minds, hearts and doors-and effecting social and political change throughout his country. Emmanuel begins his quest with a bicycle ride, over 600 kilometers, across Ghana with one leg-and continues to spread his vision with grit and resolve. Lisa Lax and Nancy Stern have been documenting Emmanuel's plight for over a year, having shot over 100 hours of powerful imagery. The film includes original footage shot in Ghana, California, Oregon and New York, as well as photographs and other acquired film/video of Emmanuel's early years. Through it all, they have created an intimate insight into the mind and heart of a visionary whose unforgettable journey transcends continents and cultures and becomes each of ours to share.

The Flying Scotsman (2006) The Flying Scotsman is a feature film based on the remarkable true story of Scottish cyclist Graeme Obree (played by Johnny Lee Miller). In 1993, and as an unemployed amateur, Obree broke the world one-hour record on a bike of his own revolutionary design, which he constructed out of old BMX frames, scrap metal and parts of a washing machine. His record was beaten by Chris Boardman just one week later.He went on to regain the title a year later. (read about Graeme Obree on wikipedia)
Ghislan Lambert's Bicycle (Le Vélo de Ghislain Lambert) (2001) In the 70s, there was Merckx and there were the others. Ghislain Lambert was one of the others. This is his story, a quite simple one. The story of a modest Belgian bike racer. His greatest ambition in life? To become a champion. His greatest tragedy? Not having the legs his heart deserves.
The Greatest Show on Earth: The Story of the 1974 Giro d'Italia Made more than 20 years ago, this brilliant documentary shows the majestic beauty that is the Giro d'Italia. It's said that Eddy Merckx's Molteni boss wept like a child in the arms of his beaming star, who went on to win cycling's magical triple crown by taking the Tour de France and the World Championships. Experience the riders' anguish and joy; the organizers' difficulties; and the adoring tifosi's passion. With stunning cinematography, this epic film goes inside the Giro's heart and soul, from its opening sequence of the Pope blessing the riders through Merckx's awesome battle with Gimondi to win his fifth Giro by a mere 12 seconds, equaling the record held by Alfredo Binda and Fausto Coppi. This cinematic masterpiece might be the greatest ever made on bicycle racing.
Hammer and Cycle (2004) “Hammer and Cycle: The Habitat for Humanity Bicycle Challenge Documentary” weaves together the accounts of four riders as they endure myriad difficulties and celebrate thrilling triumphs with the entire HBC crew.

Hard Road THE HARD ROAD follows a first year professional cycling team through an entire season, documenting their struggle to pursue a dream at any cost. While the canvas of the film is the gritty subculture of American professional bike racing, what arises are issues of loyalty, integrity, commitment, and self-knowledge in a singularly self- sufficient world in which justice is meted out by the sport itself. Follow the riders into their homes and hotel rooms; along in the van and behind the scenes of the races for an inside look at their camaraderie and triumphs, as well as their disappointments, hardship and sacrifices. Two grizzled veterans mentor six rookies, as they try to break into the ultra-elite hierarchy that is pro cycling. For the team, financial reward, a certain future and social normalcy are some of the things that must be sacrificed in exchange for a soul-deep engagement with something essential in themselves. (check out "The Hard Road" web page)
Hollentour (Hell on Wheels) (2004) The world's most famous bicycle race, Le Tour de France, celebrated its 100th birthday in 2003. Pepe Danquart's film records the centenary race in all its glory and its harsh reality - the fierce competition, the pain, the courage, as well as the triumphs - all of it set against the spectacular beauty of the French countryside. The film also surveys the genesis and history of the race, and looks at the gigantic organisation behind it. Pepe Danquart won an Oscar in 1994 for his short film, BLACK RIDER. His other documentaries, including HOMEGAME (2000), have won many other awards.

Jour de Fete (1949) Once a year the fair comes for one day to the little town 'Sainte-Severe-sur-Indre'. All inhabiters are scoffing at Francois, the postman, what he seems not to recognize. The rising of the flagstaff under his direction nearly leads into a catastrophy - but everybody tells him, how important his work is. Sneering up Francois continues in the evening of the festive day. Made drunk, some 'friends' persuade him to watch a short-movie in a tent. This film is a stunt-show, covered as 'The modern delivery-techniques of the US-post. Francois takes it serious, not recognizing being teased. Next day, after getting sober in a goods wagon, he reorganizes his own delivery-methods. He has not the equipment, as his ideals in the short-movie have, but using only his bicycle, he makes good, funny progresses.
Klunkerz (2006) Klunkerz is a fast-moving documentary that traces the global rise of mountain biking from it’s Marin County roots, a gonzo sport long favored by fearless iconoclasts. An outgrowth of the Bay Area’s late-’60s early-’70s hippy counterculture, mountain biking got its start right in MVFF’s backyard. Pot-smoking adrenaline junkies from Mill Valley, Larkspur and surrounding towns took their pre-World War II bicycles known as klunkerz due to their fat tires to the top of Mt. Tamalpais. Then hurled themselves down dirt paths, risking life and limb in search of a killer high. People formed amateur bike leagues and tricked-out their two-wheelers with junkyard finds; spectacular wipe-outs made local guys national legends, and this mud-splattered hobby became an international craze and Olympic sport. Archival footage, rare photos and interviews with klunkerz trailblazers merge in this terrific film that races downhill toward mountain-bike bliss. Starring: Joe Breeze, Gary Fisher, Alan Bonds, Charlie Kelly, Tom Ritchey, Russ Mahon, Bob Burrowes, Wende Cragg, Charlie Cunningham, Otis Guy, Jaquie Phelan, Steve Potts, John Finley Scott, Robert Stewart, Fred Wolf (official site)

THE NEED FOR SPEED propels you into the fast and dangerous lives of these adrenaline addicts and their personal struggle for freedom and independence. They are the last free spirits in America, or as Steve 'the Greek' puts it, 'I'm Marco Polo, doomed to New York! (director Katharina Otto's biography)

Overcoming (2005) “Instant Classic” Documentary Tracks Team CSC’s 2004 Season. One of the best cycling films in decades is now available through WCP. Danish filmmaker Tomas Gislason spent last year’s cycling season, including the Tour de France, capturing the joys and sorrows, the triumphs and the disappointments, the dogged pursuit of endurance and the emotional highs and lows of the team members and directeur sportif Bjarne Riis, whose impact on the sport continues significantly after his career as a top cyclist. The film, aptly titled “Overcoming”, presents in moving yet excruciating detail the pain and glory that characterize one of the world’s most popular sports. Not since Jorgen Leth’s classic “The Hell of the North” has there been a film that so perfectly distills the rich essence of cycling into gripping, cathartic cinema.
Pagan Rites in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom An English professor relates the destruction of bicycles to rodeo cowboys and the medieval "Feast of Fools;" an American Studies professor sees the bike toss as a criticism of capitalist society; an economist explains the theory of motivation behind actions, while an anthropologist sees these "rituals" as a return to certain tribal customs, which may very well be necessary (and almost lost) in modern society. A spoof on creation and destruction--forces inherent in all of us. (available from Edwards Films)
Pedal (Book + DVD) In Pedal, Sutherland documents bike messengers competing in the 2005 Cycle Messenger World Championships in New York City. Going straight to the center of this urban subculture, Sutherland serves up compelling portraits of the competitors from dozens of countries, in motion and at ease, checking out each other’s bags, lingering over modifications to bikes and bodies. Between events like sprints, distance racing, and skid contests, Sutherland shows us the riders’ elegant physicality, complex individuality, and unique community that crosses boundaries of race, gender, age, and class. And he doesn’t shy away from the blood and bruises that come part and parcel with the messenger’s life. Sutherland delves deep into the world of the messengers—a world usually seen from the outside—and returns with a dynamic document that evokes the unbridled anarchy and energy of its inhabitants.

"It's an experiment in phenomenology," says S.C.A.B. co-founder Michael Spelman, "but it's also nice to piss off cars." (visit the official Pedalphiles web site)
