(1999) This is a short but in-depth documentary about Upgrade Cycle Shop in Wicker Park, Chicago. Upgrade Cycle is one of the very few independently (not chain) owned bike shops in Chicago that does sales, component upgrades, and repair. The owner of Upgrade Cycle is interviewed about how the shop began and his personal ideology behind fostering a shop that is focused on the love of bikes and biking, rather than a shop as a solely commercial enterprise. Additionally, one of Upgrade's mechanics is interviewed about how his love for bikes began. The piece is a compliment to Tom Frisch's other work "Chicago Messenger" which interviews Chicago bike messengers.

This longer documentary short is a compliment to Tom Frisch's other work "Chicago Messenger" which interviews Chicago bike messengers. These two shorts and the other related pieces were shown during Tom Frisch's MFA Thesis Exhibition.
