Ever since meeting a friend who was really into cycling I’ve gotten into the idea of it. Project Pedal is one of those ideas that I’ve gotten into. It’s a project (of sorts) that combines cycling, traveling, the people and landscape of the United States and a little bit of reality T.V. to produce a vlog/documentary called Project Pedal.
The best way to learn about it is to visit the site (linked above) but here is a synopsis of the project taken from the Project pedal website:
This documentary – tentatively titled ‘Pedal‘, will bookend with the Pacific and Atlantic oceans… anchored to a small group’s cross country trip and focusing on the inspiring people that cross their path.
Each week a vlog will be posted that will share stories from these people met along the way – as well as the main cast and the occasional behind-the-scenes footage. In the end, the bi-product of these vlogs will be used for a feature length documentary.
The end-goal of this project, both in it’s vlog and documentary form, is to share people’s reasons and motivations behind their trip. Most importantly to share what makes or drives a person to leave everything behind and to understand what they each take away from this overwhelming and painful journey.
It’s kind of amazing.
