THE MAN WHO LIVED ON HIS BIKE

I love being on a bike, it helps me feel free. I get it from my dad. After days and days of cycling the streets of Montreal, come cold or sun, or even a little frightened, I dedicate this film to him.

@leguigz Can you please respond to my inquiry on the helmet and goggle type? Thanks.

[Guillaume Blanchet]

Sorry about that : the helmet is Giro - it's more a snowboard helmet than a bike one. Goggles are from Smith. Cheers, g.

People. Let's get passed how he manages to do all of this while riding a bike and whether or not it's real.

In my opinion there is one Q you should ask yourself to figure out if this is possible.... How does he sleep? There. Done.

This was a very interesting form of expression via video, but anyone thinking it's real needs to Think Harder.

If you "love" the music, you'll just have to "like" the musician and it's yours, for free. I know, we are "forcing" you to discover an amazing musician, I am so sorry :-)

[Fabian Vitto]

Congratulations, a great video and ingenious!!

[Karen Arfi]

Guillaume! We had our little festival last night. I presented your film first. The crowd loved every second of your beautiful film. So proud and pleased to share it with the New London, CT Hygienic Arts community. Good luck with everything. I shall stay in touch about future screenings as you know I know a bunch of film people in NYC. I will private message you on that. Many thanks! Best, Karen

[BELLYDONSAHLM]

J adore. Bravo. Tellement original. Encore !!!

[Gibbs Tolsdorf]

This video makes absolutely no sense. Not a bad edit, but also no commanding plot.

[theinfamousped]

YEAH MON! Awesome video. Has your dad been keeping a log for the km he has ridden?  I know my computer went blank after 99,999.99. And, did you have any nasty crashes while holding the props, while pedaling through traffic, etc?
