About me: eat!sleep?bikes! the documentary that will make you want to ride your bike.... a lot.
There is nothing funny about a 508-mile, non-stop bicycle race through Death Valley, but for these Los Angeles riders fun is a priority. Powered by vegan burritos and fighting sleep deprivation the four attempt to become the first fixed gear team to race the Furnace Creek 508. Eat!Sleep?Bikes! follows them as they trade in messenger bags and U-locks for brakes and spandex to take on the 'toughest 48 hours in sport'. Along the way we learn about their obsession with bikes and veganism, living in Los Angeles without a car, promiscuous chimpanzees, and why crazy vegan kids would take a bike race and turn it into a fundraiser for one of the most abused primates in animal research.

Gather from 6-9am at Hollywood/Western and ride at 9 am to City Hall
to deliver the Cyclists' Bill of Rights!!
There will be swag and Hollywood Pro Bike Shop will be offering bicycle tune-ups, all of which will serve to prep the crowd for a ride downtown to "Bang the Drum" at City Hall where we will deliver the Cyclists' Bill of Rights.
This year, after City Hall we head to the Los Angeles Neighborhood Initiative at USC for free lunch (gotta register online) and a panel discussion on LA's bike plan featuring Erik Knutzen of the BWC (Bike Writers Collective,) Lynne Goldsmith of the Metro and...us, the cycling community!
It all starts at Hollywood & Western in the early hours, goes to City Hall and then to USC.
Meanwhile everyone wants to breathe and nobody can breathe and many say, "We will breathe later". And most of them don't die because they are already dead.
Thank you for adding me to your circle of friends. I'm looking forward to the film!Please get some coupons for your next purchase of your favorite flavor of me.
