Dan and Linda are ex leftist revolutionaries in their 40's. They now live a quiet life biking around Toronto, collecting gems from garage sales and dumpsterdiving to resell on the Internet, fixing bikes in their basement to sell upmarket to rich people who pay dearly for retro when the chrome is polished shiny, and committing occasional petty crimes to get weed.

One day a new young dealer Susan shows up on the streets on a cool retro bike pushing her "BC organic". Dan gives her some old literature on the people's revolution of the 60s and 70's. Susan forms the "spokes" gang with others on bicycles. Quickly things turn into action against the SUV's and the rich threatening to buy them out from their neighborhood.
Want a warm-up clip before the main act? Consider "Examined life", particularly the part by Peter Singer about 20min into the movie, and the discussion about 3/4 into the movie about ecology against the backdrop of a truck dumping garbage at a a landfill.
