Bikes versus cars

The bicycle, an amazing tool for change. Activists and cities all over the world are moving towards a new system. But will the economic powers allow it? Bikes vs Cars, a new film project from BANANAS! and Big Boys Gone Bananas! director Fredrik Gertten, looks into and investigates the daily global drama in traffic around the world.Fact: By increasing cycling from 1% to 1,5% of all trips, the US alone could import 462 million fewer gallons a year.

If you can just imagine 20% fewer cars on the street, I mean that alone is like an idea that makes you happy.
