Video Of The Day: 'Line Of Sight' Trailer From The 2012 Bicycle Film Festival
While most eyes are on the Tour de France, there's a much more intriguing form of cycling that's quickly becoming a phenomenon: underground bicycle messenger racing.
Yes, it's a real thing, and it appears to be spreading. Filmmaker Lucas Brunelle spent more than a decade profiling and documenting messenger cultures around the world, and he recently released "Line of Sight," a 60-minute documentary film that premiered Saturday at the 2012 Bicycle Film Festival in New York City. According to the description:
This is bike riding like you've never seen before, in gripping first-person perspective through the most hectic city streets, on expressways in Mexico City, over the frozen Charles River, under the Mediterranean Sea, across the Great Wall of China and deep into the jungles of Guatemala.
Sounds much more gripping than the winding, tree-lined roads of France.
