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.

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