The story follows Edward Charles Henderson Jr., known as June Bug, a 51-year-old pedicab driver in Brooklyn. Despite being shot 15 years ago and facing struggles with petty crime and drug use, June Bug has found solace in his self-built pedicab. He offers rides to neighbors and passers-by, enjoying the simple pleasure of biking around the neighborhood. Unlike the commercial pedicabs in Manhattan, June Bug operates informally without licenses or fixed rates, riding when he feels like it. His pedicab has become a symbol of community, offering rides to both children and adults, while June Bug continues to live between the margins of economic struggle and geographic transition in Brooklyn.
