I have just completed a short 17 minute film entitled, "All in a days ride,
towards a bicycling future for Metro Boston". It's an advocacy and
documentary film about the current bicycling conditions in the Metro Boston
area and provides practical suggestions for improving the situation. There
is footage of bicycling in a variety of urban and suburban bicycling
situations and the narrative shows what a bicyclist has to think about as
they encounter various road hazards. Some commentary is made about our
current reliance on automobile use and progress that has been made in
improving our public transit system.

This film also identifies the Washington St. Silver Line corridor as a
possible model for a shared bus/bike transit solution and shows what it is
like to bicycle on that route. Emphasis is made on bicycling as a
transportation activity in addition to its recreational benefits.

 

The film is accessible on the internet via two halfs and may be found

group presentations and/or discussions and I'll provide a DVD copy upon
request. Rob Fine
