Well maybe “exclusive” is an overstatement. My friend Andrew David Watson‘s short video, The Broad Street Bully, has been in a few festivals and also has been available on his website for a while. But I convinced him to migrate it to Vimeo, so that I could post it here (exclusive!), and the rest of the blogosphere could embed it (hint hint). It deserves to be seen!
Continuing this week’s theme of awesome stills-and-voiceover films about personal transformation through cycling, Bikejuju presents a lovely little slice-of-life character piece about the kind of everyday cyclist America needs more of. Enjoy.
The filmmaker Andrew says,
I met Fred years ago while working in a bike shop . Fred has had many nicknames over the years but “Broad Street Bully” comes from the fact Fred can usually be spotted riding up and down Broad Street, the main North/South Avenue in Philadelphia. I spent two days (and probably over 100 miles) riding around with Fred to shoot this story. This piece and my friendship with Fred exemplifies how the common bond of biking can transcend age, sex, race and pretty much any other divide.
PS: Happy birthday Fred!

Wonderful short film. Thank you for encouraging the public posting of this. I’ll be embedding on BikeCrave in the coming days.
that’s great, man. it’s amazing that world that we riders inhabit. i guess like anything else people proseletyze (sp) about we wonder why everyone doesn’t get it…
