This 6-part series, which takes about a half hour to watch in its entirety, made my day. The Zenga Brothers are from right here in Uxbridge and are part of what makes it such a vibrant community. The series is all about creativity, taking chances, and the importance of human contact.

There is one type of bicycle that remains on the fringes, only embraced by the daring, the creative, the foolish: The Tall Bike.

i disagree. recumbents are just as fringe as tall bikes, except they're useful

Ha! Certainly, recubents are fringe-ish, but you can walk into any bike store in North America and order one. And they are not embraced by "the daring, the creative, the foolish", but by the arthritic.

They actually discuss the comparative uselessness of tall bikes - it's not really about bikes, it's about art.
