StreetFilms Covers Best of Bike to Work Day
by Sami Grover, Carrboro, NC, USA on 05.20.08
We already got excited about Bike To Work day events in Seattle, and we cast a (slightly) critical eye over some of the green biking gear being offered by the good folks at Terrapass in honor of the event. We should have known though that StreetFilms would have been on the case putting together some more comprehensive footage of events around the country – from San Francisco to Austin to New York to Portland, these guys bring us a celebration of those everyday heroes who are getting on their bikes, saving gas, and ringing the electric gong (!?).

Great video. As a longtime bike commuter, I am really happy to see all the recent interests in bike commuting. I have been noticing more and more people asking me questions about commuting, both in the office and on my ride. I just hope that the interest continues. Cycling really is a better way to get around, not for everybody, but for a lot of people.
everyday should be bike to work day.
