Awesome job! Keep up the hard work.
After watching that, I have no other choice than to go for a ride in Arlington!

Yeah, that was a great documentary. Thanks for making it available online!

Very nice! Could have gone a little easier on the background music though

Great film. And appreciate the message that we need to actively support proposed connection initiatives to add balance to the input from organized neighborhood groups.

Loved this film. I shared it on FB with a High School friend who now lives in the Netherlands, and is always going on about America’s weak cycling infra and culture.
