The film highlights the importance and effectiveness of bike advocacy in local politics. Viewers get a sense of how to engage with City leaders, why it matters, and the challenges in doing so. The film reveals discussions between students and a variety groups, and shows them in their biking travels between towns. The message is positive, emphasizing that advocacy at the local level isn’t as intimidating as you think, and viewers are treated to several examples of how this type of advocacy can effectively bring change.
This documentary premiered at the New Urbanism Film Festival and the California Bicycle Summit this year and was recently featured in Forbes Magazine. Come for an inspiring 45-minute screening followed by discussions, a panel, and refreshments.
