> Bike or no bike, you must see this movie. For one thing, it's Canadian. It
> won best Canadian feature and best first feature at the Montreal World
> Film Festival, and netted Briand best director as well. For another, it is
> warm, real and gut-splittingly funny. Plus there's the heart-stopping
> opening action sequence.

> We could also speak at length about the yumminess of the star, Charlottle
> Laurier, or the cameos by Montreal couriers (spot Fred Paquette). But in a
> nutshell:
>
> Laurie is a veteran downhill racer for GT. After a hesitation that costs
> her a crucial two seconds, she is deemed "too old" and turfed into the
> world with her beloved bike. Seeing two couriers one miserable day
> inspires her to try her legs at messenging. She also finds friendship with
> Lorenzo (Dino Tavarone), the owner of the local bike shop, also an
> ex-racer.
>
> Love, pain and the everyday freakiness of messenging are central to the
> story, as well as a brief touch upon the theory of relativity. If the
> faster you go, the slower time goes, then couldn't you secure eternal
> youth with a 56X12 and a nice light frame? Laurie fairly glows in her
> pursuit of things bike.
>
> When the movie let out in our town, at least a couple of vets were looking
> suspiciously misty. What's the problem?
>
> "I was sad it was over."
