It was really bad. That's not to say I didn't enjoy watching it, but it was bad.

getting pretty good reviews. I usually agree with Ebert and he's giving it high marks for a fun chase movie.
I like the director. great writer and his other directorial efforts are solid.
Definitely checking it out, besides I'll watch any bike related flick just 'cause I love bikes!

Riding like its 1990
I was hoping it had one liners in it or something. If it doesn't then it better have some good corny scenes to latch on to.
Any accidental freewheeling, brake levers, left side drivetrains or inadvertent bike changes like other movies?
I know his street bike turns into a trials bike in one shot.

Re: the bikes -- I don't want to spoil too much of the plot, but his bike doesn't "change" into other types. I had to wonder if they varied the gearing on his FG between scenes so his cadence would look more "normal" throughout.

I felt a little conflicted LOLing so hard at those points.

Anyway, I LOVED it but I didn't think it was a good movie, if that makes any sense. It was exactly what it needed to be - it was way overwrought/took itself too seriously in parts, but also was tongue-in-cheek and laughed at itself in other parts. It had GAPING plot holes. It had lots of shout-outs to bike kids. (like JGL and other dude racing in the park and blowing by the pack of roadie/freds. I LOLed.) The only part I hated was use of the term "flash mob" i mean COME ON you couldn't think of a less lame word/phrase to use to rally the kids?
I would recommend seeing it with a group of friends/pack of bike kids cause it's definitely a movie that benefits from some audience feedback. I saw the 8:00 showing and considered staying for the 10:40 one because I knew there was an alleycat that was ending at the theater for the later showing and it would have been fun to see with more bike kids in the theater. That said, the friends I went with ride bikes but are not bike kids per se and they still totally enjoyed it.
Stay past the first batch of credits, they show JGL bloodied for real after smashing through a cab window.
It will make some kids take off their brakes which is stupid, and it made me want to learn to skid which is also stupid.

what is stupid is that this movie made her want to.
what is stupid about skidding is that it's totally unnecessary.

It is going to make fixies way too main stream, and make all the new riders remove their brakes and crash.

see in my area they were popular with the kidz about 2 years ago so they have all moved off onto the next trend. Recently its the bug skateboards that serve no functional purpose at all.
