  • well done!

  • @ElectronicIbis Thanks for the comment.

  • Thoroughly enjoyed this! Very jealous of that that bike... Except for the paint job:/

  • @32YG Ha, ha, i agree with you......the only downside to the bike was that AWFUL paint job. I thought it was just my opinion, but now i feel some vindication :-)

    If you haven't seen it yet? check out my other bike video...as mentioned in the comments below :-)

  • Second time i`ve watched this,superb, beautiful and long over due tribute to the bicycle...........orange and blue........well,each to their own !

  • beautiful. i love all parts of bikes, especially the cranks =D

  • @dougculnane Those evil Americans! Why would anyone care what they think?

  • After "Climate-Gate Two", I can say that there is NO evidence that man-made carbon has any effect on the Earth, climate, or anything else. None of the existing data (that survived their shredders) showed what the "Scientists" claimed. So, don't worry about carbon "off-sets". But, with that said, he does have a lovely bike, to-die-for! I just hope it doesn't get stolen, especially after what he did to get it. I guess internet shopping would have made for a boring movie...

  • @32YG I agree but you know what, to each their own..it was HIS dream bike after all : )

  • Why go to the USA which has the worst per capita bike usage for advice about how to encourage bike usage? People who "get their bike out of the garage one a year" are not the key to greater usage.

    BTW Patents are in the public domain. So this comment make no sense on any level.

    I love the intension of this film, and I really enjoyed watching it but it really misses some important points. Proper bike infrastructure is important the rest is just marketing shit.
