Bikes vs Cars
We are in the middle of a major global crisis that will have to be faced sooner or later: climate change, the exhaustion of fossil resources, urban and ocean pollution. In this context the bicycle emerges as a powerful tool for change. It is a David and Goliath struggle, though, because the car industry invests millions of dollars to protect its business. More cars are being sold today than ever before and there are more than a billion vehicles worldwide. Activists and thinkers from around the world, from São Paulo to Los Angeles by way of the idyllic situation in Copenhagen, are organising to change things and achieve more sustainable cities. Together with citizens who refuse to stop cycling, despite the rising number of cyclists killed in traffic accidents, they perform a small gesture that can bring about great change.
