"In an attempt to shine a light on a somewhat under-sung subculture, directors Albert Huh and Viktor Cahoj teamed up with Red Bull for a gripping documentary on the beginnings of urban bike racing. The brief, yet informative piece traces the roots of the scene back to Toronto'€™s city streets in the 1980s...The subtleties of the culture are aptly detailed in this interesting offering from Red Bull." - Hypebeast.com

Alleycats tells the story of how the unsanctioned bike racing movement grew from its Toronto roots into a global phenomenon.

Taking to the streets, bike shops, and race tracks of Toronto, Manhattan, and Brooklyn we met some heavy hitters in the bike messenger and urban racing scenes. With Nadir Olivet as our guide, we spoke to Fernando "Kid" Rivera, Rebecca "Lambchop" Reilly, Andrew Romashyna, Cinelli owner Antonio Colombo, and more.
