This video goes out to all of cycling enthusiasts, fixie heads, track bikers, road bikers, spandex warriors, BMXers, whatever… Every cyclist I know gets a special experience from riding. Not just the one they experience themselves but literally their experience of a city or place is entirely different because they see the details of the city and the people instead of just whizzing by in a car. They experience the cracks, bumps, alleyways, stoplights, weather, and the people. Every biker has a special route, and certain things they do. That special experience is captured in this video. If you ride a lot hopefully this reaches you and inspires you to ride more. “It’s Your Ride” do whatcha wanna do.

“This short film features Alfred Bobe Jr. and Fatimah Durkee. The film spins a visual ballad between the two cyclists experiencing the city in their own unique ways. Both cyclists are city dwellers who amidst the chaos of the concrete jungle have created a private and peaceful psychological space as they traverse the streets. They are both alone and yet they are both very much aware of each others presence. The film speaks to the harmony with one’s environment that can be found while riding a bicycle in a city and the synchronistic connection we can have with those we have not even met. The short was commissioned by Hutchinson tires.”
