" This is an 8 minute version of our 55 minute documentary Beauty and the Bike. The film follows two groups of young women from Darlington and Bremen. Between them, they discover what makes - and stops - teenage girls from cycling."

I think it is funny to hear the guy say that they make a deliberate point of putting cyclist rights in front of motorists. It is interesting to think about how much of a shit stork that would raise here. But when you think about it it only makes sense. A completely non-obstructive form of transportation that has almost no impact on the environment, is better for the rider and every one else around them. vs one of the most environmentally detrimental machines ever made responsible for the deaths of thousands every single year.
I don't really like making bold anti-car statements most of the time because I do feel like their is obviously a place and time for cars. but when you actually see places giving priority to alternative transportation you can't help but wonder what is so gad damn backwards about this country and it's priorities.
