Why is it called secret? That is, somewhat predictably, a secret.
Levin is a bicycle stunt artist and philosopher. He was the subject of a short documentary film by Ben Parzybok that showed at Bicycle Film Festivals in Portland, OR and Australia, called Levin’s Bicycle. Watch Levin’s Bicycle

Hi,
This is a message for Levin. We used your film Levins’ Bicycle for our short film festival – Bike Shorts. It is a Canadian touring festival and each city puts up some cash for a peolpes choice award.
Your film won in Edmonton and we would like to send you the nominal award.
Please check out our website and email me back. director (at) bikeshorts (dot) ca.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Ben,
I am finishing your book for my Book Club on Tuesday, Jan. 5th. What insights can you give me in to the book or questions that I might bring up for my group? What was your inspiration for this book?

Hi Ellen -
Great – my publisher put together a sort of Reader’s Guide thing that can be downloaded here:
Readers Guide and Companion to Couch.
I’m in Brazil – so a little slow on replies – but let me know if this helps.
best,
Ben
