Pedal is a grainy, DV look at the subculture of New York City's bike messengers, it's an absorbing mix of rather eccentric characters and their backstories with moments of participatory filmmaking and

This is one of the best documentaries i've watched till this day. The characters look like if they were scripted like if they were from a comic or something.

These guys are real heros, real characters, real poets. This film should be on youtube forever. The film maker did a great job. This is nothing like bike riding awesome film most people expect from this kind. I am not a messenger but I relate to these guys so much and never get bored to watch this again and again.

makes you curious what became of all the people that were interviewed. Where are they today, what are they doing now?

Now the trackbiker are always trying to show off them gear and stuff, but there is never about the gear, is about the riders and the spirit that the riders have.

I come back every year to re watch this beautiful film. This video needs to stay alive

@anotherbikerider

I've watched this a few times & often think of these guys whenever/where ever I ride. They would have loved the infrastructure and more sensical laws we get to enjoy in the city today. NYC has come a long way from the days of this video. Also, Skeletor is the man. & yelling "Hip, Hip!" here and there always makes a ride more fun.

Man this was a really good documentary. Dexter seems like a fucking incredible human being yet it seems as though most people probably wouldn't give him the time of day, it's a crying shame.

This is a great film, very well made and tells a good story. It's inspiring but also a very honest picture of what bike couriers do and how they live. I'm glad I saw this, I had sort of romanticized this job and even thought about moving to a big city to work as a courier. It looks like these riders pay dearly for their freedom and their passion. (shit pay, danger, tickets, smog, stigma etc.) I'm not sure I'm willing to make the trade offs they do...
