I have outed numerous cycling films in the past that I thought list members would enjoy. I recently purchased a film titled Pedal and the accompanying book of Photos for about $28 on Amazon. I want to urge a bit of caution to folks thinking about ordering it. If you have been following such films as Red Light Go (which I really liked) and Fast Fridays, you may note some really oddly familiar things in this film. It seems to me that entire scenes, if not the whole film, have been published under another title and that the issuing of this film at this time is mainly an attempt to merchandise the accompanying book of photos. These photos, to my admittedly non professional eye seem lacking of much merit or interest. Before you shell out $28 I urge you to try and see a copy and see if it is not familiar footage to you. Those seeing such a film for the first time will no doubt enjoy it, but to me it seems like a rehash, and my own feeling is that of having been ripped off.
