We had a lot of turmoil because of the bike lanes here in Brazil, with people splitting hairs and the press witch-hunting them... ~~cry me rivers~~... I feel excited to share this video doc.

Bikes vs Cars, a film by Fredrik Gertten - WG Film

OFFICIAL TRAILER: https://vimeo.com/wgfilm/bikesvscars, https://vimeo.com/116966445 (English), https://vimeo.com/118906756 (Spanish), https://vimeo.com/119322359 (Portuguese).

QuoteThe bicycle, an amazing tool for change. Activists and cities all over the world are moving towards a new system. (...) Climate change and never-ending gridlocks frustrate people more than ever. Instead of whining, people in cities around the world take on the bicycle as a Do It Yourself solution. Road rage and poor city planning creates daily death amongst the bicyclists. And now they demand safe lanes.

Featuring scenes and interviews from Copenhagen, Toronto, Los Angeles and São Paulo (and probably more). Released worldwide on March 15th; Brazilian premiere next month.

Nothing from the Netherlands then? Would be like making a documentary on football without mentioning Brazil...

Bikes vs Cars? Sounds like an R rated film. Either a thriller or an horror film.

How splendid to see our wonderful former mayor depicted so prominently in this documentary. He had the kerbs ripped out and footpaths widened at the street where I live. Just in order to make bike-lanes impossible: were bike lanes built now, the street would be too narrow.

I've found a ghost-bicycle today less than a km from where I live.
