38 min

PEDALPHILES follows the adventures of S.C.A.B. (Skids Creating Apocalyptic Bicycles), a roving gang of bicyclist- artist- philosophers hell-bent on ridding the world of automobiles. Using trash nabbed from the Madison streets, S.C.A.B. recycles junked ten-speeds and kids' scooters into nightmarish vehicles of urban terrorism. Between infiltrating events sponsored by tamer bicycle enthusiasts and wedging ill-fitting Huffies together with hacksaws and butterknives, S.C.A.B. members find time to muse on anarchy, consumer culture, proper bunny-hopping technique, the failure of the media and the purpose of art.

Tommy Simpson was the first British person to make his mark in the world of European cycling and became known as a ‘giant of the road’. He was one of Britain's most successful cyclists, yet his memory is plagued with controversy after he ‘rode himself to death’ on the slopes of Mt Ventoux during the 1967 Tour de France. For those who remember seeing this great rider, this tribute will bring the past alive, for others this is a chance to watch Simpson in action and see just what made him so unique. Written and narrated by Phil Liggett.
