Riding a bicycle is more than just pedaling - Personal Velocity lets us into the minds of two young urban riders who every day maneuver their bikes through the frantic and unforgiving streets of New York City. Chris' greatest passion is racing alley cats - underground bike races through the city's hectic streets - he also happens to be one of the fastest alley cat racers there is. Bryan rides his bike all the time - but differently, at a different velocity - he knows far too well what might lie around the next corner. Personal Velocity shows the beauty and the danger of riding, and lets you experience what it's like to chase the perfect high and face the ultimate low - and what it means to keep pedaling.
