"Directed with inventive physicality and humor by Moritz von Stuelpnagel, the cleverly designed production makes entertaining grist of Penny’s spiky interplay with the other cyclists... The affable cast keeps all this engaging in a goofy cartoon way"

"Easily one of the better new plays I’ve seen in a long time... Unfolds into a deeper meditation on commitment and love, tourism, the brevity of life, and finding an identity in the act of acknowledging one’s responsibility to others... Lew’s largely realistic script is full of verve, and the production is expertly brought off by Moritz von Stuelpnagel, who taps into the play’s lighthearted comedy and its more perplexed somberness."

"A darkly humorous take on the cross-country-self-discovery journey... A refreshing and intelligent exploration of millennial malaise and its itchy place within the American generational drama... Adroitly captures the cross-country genre in its own uniquely cartoonish way... Deftly walks the line between ridiculous and deadly serious... Director Moritz von Stuelpnagel hits all the comic beats in Lews script, keeping the play zooming along like a well-oiled huffy."

"There are some shows that just entertain you for a few hours, then release you and let you go about your life again as usual. Then there are others stick with you, whether because of their comedic timing, dramatic tension, or tragic elements, like gum on your shoe—or bike wheels. This is undoubtedly the case for BIKE AMERICA... Fresh and entertaining!"
