As a fixie rider, I get mocked a lot for my gear of choice. “Hipster!” “Get off the road, jackass!” I’ve heard it all. But what folks haven’t realized is how awesome bike messengers are. Those guys and gals are some of the best riders out there, and if you live in NYC, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
Leave it to Hollywood to make riding a fixie even more badass, thanks to Joseph Gordon-Levit and crew. I can imagine a lot of people writing this one off as “a dumb action movie with bikes.” They may be right, but I’m really excited for this movie. Not Prometheus-excited, but still. And besides, Joe rides that bike like a damn champion.
