Cinecycle: It's Your Ride by Jacob Resneck

Directed by Daniel Leeb and commissioned by Hutchinson tires, the short film It's Your Ride features cyclist and city dwellers Alfred Bobe Jr. and Fatimah Durkee, who amidst the chaos of the concrete jungle have created a private and peaceful psychological space as they traverse the streets. The film's gorgeous cinematography and simple storyline speaks to the harmony with one's environment that can be found while riding a bicycle in a city and the synchronistic connection we can have with those we have not even met.
