There are those who come up with hacks and ways to make riding more enjoyable, and then there are those who put the rest of the world to shame. I first saw this video at the Bicycle Film Festival a few years ago. I was happy to see that it is available for full world consumption on the Internet.
The next time you find yourself whining about riding in the rain or stiff headwind, all you you need to do is think of Dexter Benjamin. He lost a leg riding his bike and was homeless for a time, and he came back to become a messenger. This is 8 minutes well spent so set aside some time and take it in.
Big ups to Atom Films for putting this together.
