The organizer still recommends the planned feature Why we cycle , 56:19 minutes that can be watched independently.
Why we cycle from Nieuw & Verbeterd on Vimeo.
About the film: To the Dutch, cycling is as normal as
breathing. We don’t think about it, we just do it. Perhaps the fact that we
don’t think about it, is the key to the bicycle’s success in this country. But
because we do not give cycling a second thought, we don’t really know what the
deeper needs of cyclists are. In the documentary ‘Why we cycle’ we take a ride
with ordinary cyclists and specialists from a variety of disciplines. These
conversations uncover some obvious, but even more hidden effects of cycling on
people, on societies, and on the organization of cities.The film is available on Amazon and free for
Prime subscribers.Full schedule via below link:
