Film Screening: You Never Bike Alone April 25, 2008

You Never Bike Alone is an 80 minute documentary looking at how cyclists are building critical mass in Vancouver, Canada, and changing the face of the city. It is the story of how a social movement grows and the people behind it.

“...a compelling and intelligent film. Deftly edited and covering a lot of ground in 80 minutes, it maintains an entertaining pace while examining and celebrating Vancouver's bicycle activists, with the Critical Mass movement at the centre of it.”
The Vancouver Courier

“What Alstead's documentary captures is the absolutely exhilarating feeling of riding your bike with several hundred other cyclists on city streets.”
The Vancouver Sun

“The most controversial film in the lineup, at least for Lotuslanders... Most memorable scene: a 1997 confrontation between protesters and motorists on the Georgia Viaduct -- with a deafening Indy race roaring below.”
The Globe and Mail (preview of Moving Pictures film festival)

“...a lovely piece of agitprop. It isn't didactic, nor proselytizing, but blunt and straightforward. The people interviewed seem so sane, so reasonable and so utterly practical that I wanted to ride off in the sunset with all of them.”
The Tyee

“I laughed, I cried. I felt stronger and more optimistic about our chances after watching You Never Bike Alone.”
Carbusters Magazine

"You Never Bike Alone is much more than just another Critical Mass documentary. It's a well constructed, historical sequence of events spanning the last 15 years of bicycle advocacy and activism in Vancouver."
Momentum Magazine

There's a Brighton Critical Mass ride before the film: details at www.tinyurl.com/dfkc2
