Beauty and the Bike

Posted on 30. Nov, 2009 by Melanie Meyers in Video

This film looks great!  I had no idea that the Beauty and the Bike documentary – which examines reasons why British girls stop cycling, while their German counterparts continue to do so – was about to premiere.

This film, by the Darlington Media Group and the Darlington Cycling Campaign asks one simple question: Why do British girls stop cycling?  From what I can gather from the short introduction above, the result is a poignant film with answers and suggestions that come directly from the girls themselves.  And what is the answer, you might ask?  It’s the infrastructure, stupid.

I look forward to watching the whole thing and will report back with a review.
