While this is not specific to the VLC it does relate to bike commuting. Yesterday I saw the movie, "The 40-Year-Old Virgin". It turns out the 40-year-old virgin is a bike commuter who works in the stock room of an electronics store. His apartmnt is packed with action figures, video games and a framed Asia poster. He paints war game figures as a hobby as well as playing the tuba and singing karaoke by himself. I am not sure if we are supposed to infer that bike commuters are geeks or if bike commuting is seen as one more symptom of geekiness.
On the upside, while his bike commuting (and lack of a car or license) poses some problems, the right woman is willing to pick him up in her car and at one point buys him a new bike from Trek and they go riding together. In the end the bike commuting virgin gets the girl and successfully consumates his marriage. Is there a lesson in here for us two wheeled commuters? Is this a lesson in redemption for people outside the mainstream or is it Hollywood's portrayal of a morally superior class of people who have much to teach the unenlightened around them?
Anyway, if you're not offended by foul language, check it out and see what you think of this latest portrayal of the bike commuter.
