Pedal (Book & DVD) 5 reviews
Zephyr, Ken Miller, ...
powerHouse Books, 2006
PEDAL is powered by the NY city streets... deep in the funk.
+ A really cool package
+ Review of PEDAL
This DVD is for all those interested in the subculture of bicycles, not just bike messengers or track bikes, but fighting for space with cars/taxi cabs, pedestrians and the police. This documentary is fast paced alongside those in the messenger (outlaw) community, and shows the true grit of the ...

The Immortal Class: Bike Messengers and the Cult of Human Power59 reviews
Travis Culley
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2002
A great ride
+ Breaking Barriers
Some seem to feel that Hugh Travis Cully is nothing more than a dilettante and a poseur who appropriated as his own a culture that he merely dabbled in. Yet it's hard to imagine that his voice, an articulate sort of strangled scream, is made up of whole cloth. This is the story of a young man, ...

Quicksilver20 reviews
Kevin Bacon, Jami Gertz
Sony Pictures, 2002
The only movie that makes you want to be a NYC bike messenger
+ Quicksilver
+ Fine entertainment for cycling fans, less so for others
This movie should not be taken too seriously. It is about a Wall Street trader in the 80s who loses it all on one big gamble and chooses to follow his passion: riding bikes. Being a bike messenger in NYC is not lucrative, nor is it very appealing to anyone unless you really like to ride, which ...
