This is a lo-res version of a 15-minute movie that's available in hi-res on iTunes http://phobos.apple.com/WebObj... at http://carltonreid.libsyn.com/... The film features lots of happy cyclists from the Netherlands, Denmark and Colombia, and shows how creating a bicycle-friendly city is the civilised thing to do.Scripted by Enrique Peñalosa, former mayor of Bogotá and the poster-child for city-wide bicycle advocacy, the movie was produced by the Netherlands-based Interface for Cycling Expertise (I-CE). It was made in 2004 and received a financial contribution from the Dutch Directorate General for International Cooperation (DGIS). Shimano sponsored the CD distribution of the movie. These CDs are handed out at global cycle campaigning events.www.Quickrelease.tv received permission to broadcast the film from I-CE. www.cycling.nl

I think that the majority of Copenhagen bicycle commuters drive less than 5 kilometers to work, but of course some drive longer.

Read The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith. Also NYC forces small dairy farmers to pay for 75% of all city expenses, and so all the farmers are going bust. So NYC is running out of land owners to tax the crap out of. My uncle gave up farming five years ago. That is socialism for yah!

i love bicycle culture im colombian and this is the best thing that has happened to bogota this is such a strong symbol for democracy here in bogota as penalosa said "showing the a citizen on a 30000 dollar car is just as equal as a citizen on 30 dollar bike"..than you!! and i hope to see this in many cities in the world in the near future

I've got a hi-res downloadable version of this documentary on my website. Google "pedaling in bike city" to find it. Download it, burn it to a CD, and show it to your councilperson! And your mom :)
