    Thought I’d share this great feature film about Bill Meier. A 52 year old guy in NYC who delivers pizza for a living. The guy’s been making deliveries on a bike for over 30 years.

    A feature film… about a guy who delivers pizza via bicycle?

    WTF? Is their next project a feature film about a wal-mart employee who has greeted tens of thousands of people over the course of 12 years?

    It’s a film about an interesting character. It’s damn more interesting than ‘Rick: The guy who has an opinion on the internet’

    You’re all thinking it, so I’m just gonna say it; guy looks like Natooke Larry circa 2044. And BANG!, there goes any future Natooke discounts…:)

    Sometimes the most fascinating stories lay in the most banal topics, who knows. I was mostly being facetious. 😀

    Dammit, Ray. I was thinking that.

    Rick, you’re forgiven. I need to work on my post titles.

    Just watched it. Great stuff. Awesome final line: “The day I can no longer ride a bike better be the day I’m f**king dead”. This guy makes Chuck Norris look like a Chengdu male hairdresser….

    This is a neat video. Anyone who’s happy doing what they do has got it (mostly) worked out.

    I ate at Best Pizza yesterday, delicious albeit a tad overpriced. This guy is a legend, although I saw him riding about cursing violently caught in a heavy rain one time
