"So, is anyone going to explain exactly why they think the programme was crap? I would expect a mentally retarded five year old to say "It's crap" without any explanation, but not an adult. What were you expecting? What was wrong with it and what would have made it better?"
i thought it was crap because it didn't convey the thrill and excitement that you get bombing along at 30mph under you own steam with a group of like minded people.
it showed the joy of drinking cheap beer and laughing with the above mentioned people but it's the joy of cycling that it missed out on for me. a lot of cycling vids just make me want to get out and ride this didn't.
but the idea wasn't to encourage cycling just give an insight into a section of society that joe public has no idea about.
it seems messengers liked it though but what messengers think or avid fixed gear or singlespeed road cyclists think is not the point as the program is aimed at people with no idea of what an alleycat or fixed wheel bicycle is. it's not there to preach to converted but inform the bourgeoisie
