5 roles
SUPPORTING. President of the Lancaster Community. She is very community oriented and is extremely upset and what has happened to her community after the addition of the bike lanes. She has a mix of both Karen energy and Leslie Knope from parks and rec.
SUPPORTING. Craig is a confident, determined man on a mission to rid the neighborhood of bikers at any cost. Smart and calculated, Craig is willing to go to any length to rid the neighborhood of bikers. The role demands a dynamic balance of calm authority and manic energy. Craig is also involved in a choreographed fight scene—complete with a dramatic “choking” moment, so strong physicality and sharp comedic timing are essential.
SUPPORTING. Noah is a warm-hearted, enthusiastic newcomer who loves biking and just wants to make friends through a group ride. His innocent optimism of rising hostility makes him unintentionally hilarious, so the role requires sharp comedic instincts and the ability to stay genuinely sweet even in absurd situations.
SUPPORTING. Frank is a laid-back, good-humored biker who rides for the sheer fun of it. Confused by the bikelash, he stays calm and collected, using humor to navigate the chaos. His ability to stay grounded and laugh at the absurdity makes him a refreshing voice of reason despite the madness.
MINOR. Jim’s wife. She’s present in most of his scenes but rarely contributes. Instead, she offers careless humor that adds for comedic relief.
