bicycle relationships

i can tell that i'm missing my two wheeled buddies - two of them are hanging from hooks in the basement and the other one is literally chillin' in the garage. every so often i visit them and touch them, heck i even whisper encouragement about how the weather'll change sooner or later and they'll be back out where they belong.

the truth is it's still too ugly to be on two wheels. so for now you and i'll have to settle for a stop-motion short about bikes and the challenges they face in establishing and maintaining relationships with each other, not to mention their human counterparts.

this one premiered at the 2006 bicyclefilmfestival in nyc and was created by keith malik and max goldstein.
it's titled "play" . . .
