Summary:

We are traffic!: this documentary chronicles the history and development of the "critical mass" bicycle movement, which reclaims city streets by bicycle activists riding en masse. The program tracks this leaderless, grassroots movement from its beginnings in San Francisco in 1992 to its spread across the globe to over 100 cities in 14 countries. Features shots of critical mass in action in Texas, Oregon, New York, London and Sydney, Australia.
Return of the scorcher: filmed in Europe, China and the United States, this film looks at how the bicycle is used worldwide. It raises fundamental questions about the nature of "progress" and seeks to inspire us to consider the bicycle as a pollution-free - and fun - way to solve some of our transportation problems.
Changing the mindset: this short film is a citizen toolkit and includes many design ideas for making your city a better place to walk and bike. Subjects include: traffic calming, bike facilities, mixed-used development, public art, and more.
Revisiting Return of the scorcher: a collection of previously unreleased bike scenes from China, the Netherlands, and Denmark with director's commentary.
