There's a Flower in My Pedal is a Canadian short film, directed by Andrea Dorfman and released in 2005.[1] Blending live action and animation in a collage style, the film is a poetic meditation on facing up to fear and insecurity, inspired in part by a childhood memory of her mother never riding her beloved bicycle again in her lifetime after sustaining a minor injury from falling off of it.[2]
