A recording they'll probably never watch anyway..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366230834353702090.post-84559476296470937732014-02-04T03:37:38.679-08:002014-02-04T03:37:38.679-08:00Hopefully I won't get flamed to badly for this...Hopefully I won't get flamed to badly for this comment but; "Why We Ride" was not that good. Lot of self aggrandizing and how awesome is this but frankly left me cold. There was a YouTube video of some elderly Asian men recreating a long ago ride that moved me far more than this film. That was more of "Why We Ride" than the movie. I will watch this documentary, I will also bemoan the behavior and what it eventually means to regular riders in Baltimore. I will also marvel at the lack of regard for their own safety and the law. I will ponder the politics of a system that allows this to occur by subsidizing their lives making work an afterthought and theft like breathing. I live near Baltimore and like most cities it has it's good points. Mostly it is a cesspool of decay, corruption and poor management. I do not document my ride, I don't use GPS on the bike, and I have a passenger about 80% of the time. Yet I enjoy every time I go out. That's the point of riding isn't it?
