Cars, Scars and Handlebars

Sarah L. , 09:02

**** Amusing, Engaging, Polished

Lively, engaging look at the world of bike messengers. Perfect for biking season. Interviews conducted at Chicago biker bars, messenger bars, that is, are entertaining, as are person-on-the-street chats. Complaining pedestrians are balanced against bikers who?ve been tossed, tumbled, and near killed by buses, cars, and po?ed people. Especially amusing are the 50 year-old bike messenger who philosophically points out, ?You could die doing this interview,? and a younger messenger, recounting his interaction with a bus driver. Though it zips along wildly, like a bike messenger, at nine minutes it felt a couple of minutes too long to me.
